Top Stanford University Arboretum Hotel Reviews

Clement Palo Alto – All-Inclusive Urban Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A"

Menlo Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"All good…"

Park James

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. I accidentally left a small personal item in my room, and the hotel proactively texted me to let me know and arranged to have it shipped to me. This level of customer care is rare these days and truly appreciated. The location is terrific, as well. My only criticism is the mandatory valet parking, which felt excessive given that we needed access to our car multiple times each day. Overall, a great experience with outstanding service."

Best Western Plus Riviera

10/10 Excellent

"Love this place."

The Westin Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent

"we truly enjoyed this hotel"

Crowper Inn

8/10 Good

"The grounds of Cowper Inn are lovely, the location is superb, and felt very safe. Hugo was very kind and helpful. The property consists of two large, historic looking mansions, side by side on a street corner. The lock on our suite wasn't working, so we were moved to a ground floor suite on the street corner, which was louder than I had hoped. The house we were moved to reminded me of a hostel (only nicer) in that there were several individual rooms, with a shared seating area and kitchen. Our suite had a private bathroom, I'm not sure what the single rooms are like. My 13 yo daughter really liked our suite, as did I, though I didn't sleep very well due to the noise, and I was grumpy that there was no coffee in the room or kitchen (there were devices to make coffee, just no coffee itself). I would stay again, with the expectation that I might need to be flexible. I should add that this could be a perfect place to stay for people who enjoy the aspects of a shared space, but want something nicer and more peaceful than a hostel."
