Spent two weeks travelling on business and, as an experienced and frequent traveler, I can 100% vouch for choosing this hotel as your next option to stay in Northern California. This place is truly a hidden gem for those travelling to the Stanford-Palo Alto area for business or leisure. Nested in the shade of tall oaks right off the main local road, El Camino Real, it is so conveniently located that it takes you only 10 minutes to commute to the Stanford campus, 30 minutes to SFO, and 40-60 minutes to San Francisco and amazing coastal beaches. The hotel service will pleasantly surprise you with incomparable value for money. Just some highlights of their service include very private, well-maintained, quiet, and pristine clean rooms, each with a cozy little backyard; first-class breakfast featuring numerous options for eggs, meats, milk product, juices, fruit, pastries, etc.; 24/7 available Swiss coffee machine with 15+ drink options to choose from; spacious and clean pool area in a serene tree-abundant inner yard; outdoor fireplace with tables and chairs; on-site FREE LG washer/dryer with complimentary detergent joined with a small but very decent gym having new and upscaled equipment; and this list can go on. The cherry on top is the outstanding hospitality and class of service demonstrated by the hotel staff - receptionists, room service, or maintenance pros - they were all very helpful, friendly, and proactive. Kudos to this boutique hotel's team. It feels like home!
