Extremely clean and in good condition. Modest lodging but with an eye towards upscale details and service, including complementary Tesla charging stations and daily maid service. Nice shower, lots of storage including an actual clothes closet, safe and robes. Quiet. I’d stay there again without hesitation.

I originally started to book directly with Creekside but they wanted to charge me for parking so I disengaged and booked with Hotels.com. The booking stated all the fees were paid and there would be no additional fees. When I arrived they charged me an additional $17.50 to use the pool, in early January mind you. When I told them Hotels.com said all the fees were paid they it was policy. The staff was neither friendly or helpful. The next morning I was awakened by a loud knock on the door at 8:15. It seems the maid wanted to clean the rooms already as she was knocking on several doors. Continental breakfast was sub par. All I really wanted was orange juice but there was neither OJ or milk. For a corporation trying to get every dime out of their customers this seemed very unprofessional.

The room was spacious and worked for our family. The pool is heated but still too cold for a winter time swim without a jacuzzi or way to warm up, also no towels were available at the pool which made for an extra cold walk back to our room. Breakfast was VERY minimal and the coffee was gross. Thankfully the room had a microwave and fridge so we grabbed our own food items for breakfasts. The location was very nice and worked well for our visit to Sam Fran and Stanford Children’s Hospital. Overall we would stay here again but would bring our own breakfast and big pool towels.
