4/10 Poor

Kassandra

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was shocked when I got to my room to take a nice hot shower after traveling all day, only to find there was no hot water. I called the front desk, and it was an "oh by the way, yeah, you need to let the water run for 10 minutes before it gets hot". Ummmm no. That is unacceptable in modern society at a hotel in Palo Alto. The last thing I want to do when I'm exhausted and need a shower, is stand around in a hotel room, unable to settle in, while I wait for the water to get hot. Furthermore, it is in direct opposition to the hotel's marketing that it is eco-friendly, as all that water is just wasted down the drain. Unacceptable

The stay was convenient and close to my event nearby. Check in was pleasant and respectful. I chose this location to have access to the pool area but unfortunately did not know until I checked in that it was closed for the day.

Nice mini resort

Interesting variety of rooms in different size buildings in varied landscaping centered around a creek which was dry when we were there but still very pretty.

Have stayed many times visiting family in the area. Always clean, comfortable rooms and good service. I just wish the showers had normal water pressure. All are low due to flow restrictors and can barely get clean or even keep warm.
