Just needed a place to crash for the night.

Nice place tucked away, did not realize it was hiding behind the restaurant.

It was a very pleasant stay. The grounds are very parklike with lots of trees and walking paths. The staff was great - they were very understanding when mÿ doctor's appointment at Stanford went extra long which resulted in not being able to check out on time.

Bathroom wasn’t clean, floor wasn’t clean. There was a circus happening on the floor directly above us, into the early hours of a Monday morning. We always stay here when I have early medical tests at Stanford the next day, and are usually very happy. Guess this was a one-off. Office staff were very professional and pleasant, as per usual.

Everyone here was so lovely to us. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend staying at the Creekside Inn if you are coming to Palo Alto. We were a 10 minute drive from the cute downtown and 15 from the medical center.

Property was quaint and clean. Super comfortable bed and pillows. Full DirecTV complete with premium channels Small but adequate exercise room. Plenty of restaurants walking distance. Only small issue is the shower water pressure wasn’t great. But nice Malin and Goetz toiletries provided. A little loud if guests close by aren’t considerate. Overall, really nice stay

I did not appreciate my belongings being displayed as if they were for sale. I returned to the hotel and found the room door open with lights on. No explanation but just it happens a lot. Staff was condescending. I did not enjoy the stay.
