The two of us stayed 2-3 days three times over three weeks during a vacation and visit to family. Plenty of cheaper places in the area but this hotel worked best for us in terms of location, comfort, and convenience. Walking distance to Stanford and California Avenue. Friendly staff. Clean and spacious rooms, including refrigerator and sinks both inside and... more

We stayed at the Stanford Terrace for 10 days. The hotel is very clean. the beds are comfortable, and the rooms are very big. Even the parking garage is spotless. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping is always on duty to get anything you need. The breakfast is very good. The hotel is within walking distance to shopping,... more

We stayed here for Stanford Admissions weekend and had a pleasant stay. The room was clean and big, the showers hot, and the room had a microwave and small fridge. Free Continental breakfast was convenient with a waffle maker, fruits, bagels cream cheese, yogurt and cereal in ample supply. A van is available for free shuttle to downtown and Stanford.... more

I was originally going to say fairly good things about this place until my second morning here when i was treated to a cold shower. This then happened again on my second day. This may not be a problem for you but basically they told me that they don't have a big enough hot water tank so if a large... more

I have traveled extensively for many years, and have stayed at many of the top hotels in the world, and none of them made me feel as relaxed, or welcome, as this one, and their staff. The rooms were impeccably clean, the bedding as though it were purchased yesterday. Most impressive was this hotels commitment to the environment. There were... more

This hotel was great, I loved all the added extras they had in the rooms. I stayed in a "Green" Suite- that was very eco-friendly. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The room was very clean, good decor. Quiet and relaxing- a great place to stay if in the Palo Alto/ San Jose area- basicly right on campus at... more

I'm in the sign business and was visiting CA (Silicon Valley) to meet some clients. I saw on the web that the hotel was a "Green Business" and this appealed to my environmental senses. My rate was $165.00. This was a good price for the area as well. The location was perfect and the rooms were the largest I have... more

We booked this room for 2 nights to attend a college tour of Stanford for our daughter. The location was convenient as it is close to the university and nearby eateries; however the porblems outwighed the convenience factor. We booked a family suite with full kitchen, and appreciated the largish room with 2 queen beds, but the noise all night... more

When I first arrived, I was not too pleased with the exterior of the hotel, however upon checking in to the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised! The staff was extremely welcoming and courteous, and the room was marvelous. I had free wireless internet, and they have free breakfast every morning. Also, you don't really need to rent a car because... more
