Top Palo Alto Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Cabana, Palo Alto by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room."

Leland Hotel Palo Alto

2/10 Terrible

"I don’t think the room was clean at all. The floor was absolutely dirty. They have someone went to the room while we were out just to make the bed, but there were makeup stain on the blanket like they never washed it. They took out the living room trash but not the restroom. It felt as if a lot of things haven’t been properly maintenance."

Creekside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I visited the Creekside Inn as a solo traveler. As a woman, it's always scary to go to new places alone, but I felt very comfortable in my room. The staff were very nice when I checked in and checked out, and I would definitely recommend choosing this location. There were plenty of places to park around my room and it was easy to navigate. As for breakfast, I only went on my last day but if you just need a quick bite to eat, they certainly have some nice options. Mini cereals, apples, bananas, coffee/tea, and pastries. It's not a huge assortment with all the fixings but I didn't see that as an issue! The scenery was beautiful! It's called Creekside for a reason! I would definitely choose this place again!"
