Perfect for a family gathering

My family loves this hotel. It’s so beautifully landscaped - I feel like I’m in a tropical wonderland . The staff is friendly and helpful. We love to hang by the pool or fountain and eat yummy sandwiches from the deli. It’s a little retreat in a busy metro area.

Stay in Bloom 2025

I came down from the Sacramento area for the Stay in Bloom festival. I found this place almost last minute, and it was close and easy enough to book. Surprisingly, they had courtesy Tesla charging stations under the covered parking area. That was nice, but I wish they had more stations.

Great location super close to Stanford University and tons of delicious eating establishments! Our room had a balcony that overlooked the pool which was beautiful, despite the rainy colder weather. Our room was cleaned immaculately daily without having to ask for service and everyone was friendly and accommodating.
