Reviews and Ratings
I had a really nice stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and fairly large, with a great bathroom and comfy bed, but they are quite spread out, and only having 2 elevators meant a long walk to the room. The service was very helpful and accommodating, going out of their way to satisfy personal preferences. The location was excellent, within walking distance to Stanford and a variety of food options nearby. The dining experience was the only highlight of the stay, although there were some issues, and the facilities were in extremely good condition with an emphasis on quality sleep.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was very clean and well-appointed on the ground floor, allowing easy access to a beautiful courtyard, perfect for my pup. However, the room tended to get quite warm during the day, and the limited space made it feel cramped, especially with the awkward placement of the chair. Overall, the room was the highlight of my stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean and spacious, they were distant from the elevator, making it a bit challenging to navigate back. The walk-in shower was a nice touch, and the multiple charging outlets were convenient. However, the atmosphere in the hotel felt more like a casual setting with some staff interactions. The service was friendly and accommodating, but the flirtatious behavior between staff members was a bit distracting.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms are stunning with a gorgeous fireplace and jacuzzi, easily qualifying for a 4-star rating. However, there was no room to keep clothes, which was a downside for me.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms are large, with a nice walk-in shower, and mine was very clean and well-appointed on the ground floor with a sliding glass door to a beautiful courtyard. However, it was a bit of a trek from the front desk through twisting corridors. The layout was nice with a seating area and coffee table.
