Our one night stay at the Courtyard Palo Los Altos was overall good. The rooms are a bit small. Initially we were put in the wrong room but the front desk staff corrected this and were friendly. The breakfast buffet is not included fyi but they do give you a 15% off coupon. There is an underground parking garage for guests which was convenient.

This is a very clean and convenient property. We were visiting friends in Los Altos. It was easy to get up every morning and run/walk down Los Altos Avenue to the village (1.5 miles) for coffee and treats. As a female running alone in daylight, I was safe and there were other people out walking or running. During the school year, mornings would be even busier with the elementary and junior high schools on this route. It is also very easy to get into the property from El Camino Real, and park below in the garage. Easily able to get a parking space close to an elevator. The restaurant and bar were hopping every evening, and the outdoor seating area for the bar by the pool was great. The fitness room has good free weights, treadmills and they work! Staff is very nice, warm, friendly. We missed the happy hours but it looked like they had popcorn and were busy. The first evening we arrived, they had an outdoor trivia night which was well attended. Our room looked like it had been recently remodeled. Good bed, comfy sofa, microwave, small fridge, Keurig in the room. You could easily walk about a block to a Safeway store, and a little further to get to Trader Joes, Walmart or Target in the vicinity of El Camino and San Antonio if you needed anything. Would definitely stay there again.
