A/C was broken in the lobby/bar/restaurant in the middle of what passes for a heat wave in Palo Alto. Otherwise everything was great. And this hotel does EV charging right. Plenty of Tesla and J1772 chargers, no app or necessity to get them turned on.

This is a very nice, quiet, and clean hotel. They seem to be doing some construction or remodeling to the front of the hotel, but signage was helpful. I liked that I was able to park my car safely in the unground garage and easily take the elevator up to my floor. I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant, but it's very convenient. The room was very clean and smelled nice. Huge TV, several streaming services. I liked that there were plenty of outlets and charging stations in the room. The bed was super comfortable. Large bathroom. I think the best part, for me, was how quiet it was. No traffic noise, no noise from other guests or housekeeping.

This is definitely the best hotel we have during the whole half month roadtrip in California. The location is wonderful, only few minutes to grocery, pharmacy, and Stanford University. Around ten minutes drive to near shopping mall and restaurants. Easy parking and nice pool, my daugher enjoys the warm pool everyday there. The other best service is the laundry service, we can do our laundry in the hotel and really convenient. Staff here are helpful and friendly. It's my best memory in Mountain view!

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.

We had a very quiet, clean room on the first floor. The room had been renovated and was quite comfortable. The common areas are tired and need renovation. Only complaint is that the breakfast was very expensive - $18 for two cappuccinos with a tip.

My only complaint is the walls were paper thin. The gas next-door party late and woke up early partying and that’s not acceptable on a Sunday morning at 6:30. Also, I am still waiting for my 200 deposit that was taken on the 31st and tomorrow is the fifth. I get that it’s a holiday. I also understand that Properties, bank and bank properties and someone getting interest not me. I will think twice before putting down a deposit.

Everything was great except we asked when the restaraunt opened for breakfast on Sun day and we were told by woman at the front desk- 6:00 a.m. We called down to the front desk Saturday night to confirm that the restaraunt opened at 6:00 a.m and we were told it was. We came down Sunday at 6:30 a.m to find the restaraunt doesn't start serving until 7:00 a.m. We tried to give the guy at the front desk feedback so that he could share with staff that they give out accurate information and he didn't seem to care.

Very clean and comfortable stay! Lots of great room amenities and thoughtful items like lots of charging outlets/USB charging. Super cozy bed. Wi-Fi was pretty good and loved the little couch/seating area in the room. Close to Stanford campus.

Needed one night in Palo Alto close to Stanford. The room is large and clean. There is a small fridge and a microwave. The bed was a bit too soft for my preference. They have lots of undgroud parking with a card access for the guests.

I liked the stay I was skeptical with noise but staying here you hear noise but it’s not bad at all. It’s a safe area it was clean I felt at home in my stay and it’s close to everything your in the middle of everything I’d return again.

This is a great option around Palo Alto area if you don't want to pay through the roof. It is very conveniently located if you are here to visit Stanford, Sand Hill Rd, etc. It has a great unassuming restaurant with American fare and fully stocked bar and lots of areas to sit around with a notebook and work. Highly recommended and great value for money.

This is definitely the best hotel we have during the whole half month roadtrip in California. The location is wonderful, only few minutes to grocery, pharmacy, and Stanford University. Around ten minutes drive to near shopping mall and restaurants. Easy parking and nice pool, my daugher enjoys the warm pool everyday there. The other best service is the laundry service, we can do our laundry in the hotel and really convenient. Staff here are helpful and friendly. It's my best memory in Mountain view!

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.

The overall stay was very good, the room was clean and the service staff was friendly. One thing that needs to be improved is that the garage is not gated and outsiders can easily enter the hotel which is a concern for security.

We loved this hotel! First impression upon walking in, large spacious hotel with a great vibe. A nice restaurant to eat and a Starbucks in the same area. a bar with plenty of tables and tv’s to enjoy a cocktail (& complimentary drink tickets upon arrival). Pizza served at happy hour along with chips and popcorn, and ice water always available. This hotel is big, rooms are spacious and clean, beds are comfortable and it’s quiet. Free parking available in the parking garage, and staff allowed us to check in early with our large group and was very accommodating. The rooms include microwaves and fridges, as well as keurig coffee makers which the housekeeper replenished. We didn’t use the gym or pool but they are available … some decent restaurants available nearby, we loved Gotts down towards the university, which this is located about a mile and a half from.

A lot of bang for the buck at this location. Very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant turned out an excellent grilled salmon and steamed vegetables dinner which I had in my room (no room service but they text you when your meal is ready to be picked up at the bar). The hotel does a very good job all around.

Everything was great except we asked when the restaraunt opened for breakfast on Sun day and we were told by woman at the front desk- 6:00 a.m. We called down to the front desk Saturday night to confirm that the restaraunt opened at 6:00 a.m and we were told it was. We came down Sunday at 6:30 a.m to find the restaraunt doesn't start serving until 7:00 a.m. We tried to give the guy at the front desk feedback so that he could share with staff that they give out accurate information and he didn't seem to care.

Our room was infested with ants. Also we were here for a soccer tournament and the staff could not keep up with anything. The breakfast in the morning was so slow getting to us that we were almost late for our game. More than 30 minutes to get our French toast!

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.

We had a very quiet, clean room on the first floor. The room had been renovated and was quite comfortable. The common areas are tired and need renovation. Only complaint is that the breakfast was very expensive - $18 for two cappuccinos with a tip.

Booked 2 nights but literally was only there to sleep so didn't get the full experience. Very nice, modern updo. Didn't get a chance to use my bonvoy # to get points. Ordered a veggie omelet that had everything but the veggies well barely any veggies, was mostly onions and mushroom and diced too small, too much eggs not enough veggies. The crunchy potatoes that was served with it is basically french fries. The Filipino lady who checked me in was a bit rude, was probably in the middle of sleeping or doing something other than working when I checked in around 2am.
