Clean safe location that’s very convenient to Stanford Deli on property is very good. Not extravagant but it is a well cared for place to stay and pretty grounds. Breakfast is minimal but you can get coffee, tea and a fresh bakery item The water bottle filling fountain with cool, filtered water is a nice touch.

Nighttime front desk staff when we checked in was very friendly. Location was good for football game at Stanford and good choices for restaurants.

Weeklong business trip. Very comfortable room and surprisingly quiet. The rooms are cleaned daily, which you don’t see much these days. Very convenient location and the free parking is very nice.

Clean and comfortable. The room was spacious and quiet and had a nice view of a creek bed. We’d planned to take transit over to the frost theatre but we’re running late and grabbed a ride. Free parking right outside the room.

This is my favorite place to stay when I am in the area, which I am 1-2 times per year. The property is beyond beautiful, the rooms are always very clean, it’s conveniently located, and the staff is always so nice. I highly recommend this property for your next stay.
