It is one of a rare hotels that we can find offering room with 2 beds and a sofa bed. The property is in a good location. It is 2 miles from Stanford and is close to many good restaurants. The property is a bit old and the sofa bed not firm enough to sleep comfortably.

Creekside Inn is a quaint place located 5-10 minutes drive from Stanford. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast consists of muffins, croissants, cereal, yogurt and coffee. I’d stay again.

I didn't like how the front office staff lied to me telling me my room didn't lead directly to the outside and then ignoring my calls when I learned that it did when I checked in. I was also next to the custodial closet and could hear everything. The room was just okay, but customer service HORRIBLE.

The property is beautiful! Check in and out were easy. I appreciate the automated text for needs/questions. The beds were very comfortable, like clouds. The continental breakfast was lacking, only pastries seemed to be available.

Close to Stanford, about 8min away. I gave it a 4star because there wasn’t many restaurants close by. There’s a market on the property but was closed for our entire stay, Sun - Tues. That was a bummer, we needed to buy snacks and drinks for my son’s football camps. Ended up going to a small gas station that was out of the way. There’s not much around, the description is not correct about being close to shops or restaurants.

Booked this to attend Stanford graduation. Thought that being this close to the campus would help minimize drive times to events etc.. Unfortunately, the traffic lights on El Camino Real are so poorly synced that it took three times as long to get places as it should have. Nothing special about this hotel. Turns out proximity was of no benefit as well.
