Great place to host an event
Pros:

We celebrated our graduation with dinner at the Stanford Park Hotel, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, making it the perfect setting for such a special occasion. The food was delicious, with beautifully presented dishes and great attention to detail. The staff- Javier, Maria, Enver, and Israel were friendly, attentive, and helped make the evening feel truly memorable.

Clean with Character and Great Food
Pros:

I travel to the Bay Area once a quarter for board meetings, and the Stanford Park Hotel has been my favorite for years. The staff is friendly. The rooms are clean. There's a wonderful lobby with tables where you can work, and of course, the awesome patio. Breakfast is also delicious, and for lunch or dinner, the pulled chicken sandwich is fantastic.

Sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr sauber.
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr schön gestaltet. Nicht so typisch amerikanisch wie all die anderen. Es war super sauber und das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Auch wenn es preislich etwas höher liegt, sind doch einige Extras enthalten, wie Parken, Wasser, Äpfel oder Kaffee und Cookies. Wir haben ebenfalls kostenlose Fahrräder in Anspruch genommen für einen ganzen Tag.

Cons:

Der starke Geruch nach Putzmitteln.

Beautiful oasis not to be missed.
Pros:

No hotel comes close. It is an oasis. Like being at home the rooms are so large. Never feel like you are in a hotel room, whether melting into the great beds or enjoying room service in the sofa area you feel like you are in a house not a galley room. The outdoor courtyard and firepits are perfect for dinner, or a cocktail, and the Menlo Tavern is open all day from breakfast to dinner and the locals love to eat there. The courtyard is beautiful, with live entertainment. Well staffed and everyone from desk to doorman is friendly and helpful. Never a wait for room service or to check in. Best location for campus or great shopping at the high end mall across the street. From the huge fireplace in the lobby to the courtyard, the entire hotel is is elegant, cozy and spotless. Easy and ample parking right on site to come and go as please, with tesla and EV charging. We have favorite hotels in NY, Chicago and CA, but none are like the warmth of the Stanford Park.

Very best in Palo Alto / Menlo
Pros:

We based the whole family with multiple rooms at the Stanford Park for graduation. Check in swift in the gorgeous entry. Rooms are oversized, the suites are enormous. All rooms have desks, sofas, double bathroom vanities. You melt into the beds and pillows. The Menlo Tavern is fantastic food and service. Hotel is so clean and beautiful. Avi and the entire staff are so kind. Would never stay anywhere else.

Business trip
Pros:

We used Stanford Park Hotel for a work trip and it delivered on all fronts. The meeting setup was great, and the staff genuinely went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. That kind of service makes a difference when you're focused on business. Highly recommend.

SI REGRESO
Pros:

Es un Gran Hotel, la alberca esta climatizada, la terraza es fabulosa, el cuarto es muy buen cuarto, tiene buenos seervicios, por la temporada me parecio mas caro de lo normal, pero los detalles de todo el personal del hotel con nosotros fueron grandiosos

Cons:

Los meseros de la terraza, Todos a excepcion de OSCAR que fue muy bueno, todos los demas sin ganas de atender, no nos entendiasn, estabamos con la entrada cuando llego el plato principal, y pedimos que lo resguardaran para que nose enfriara, y cuando les solicitamos que lo llevaran de vuelta tardaron alrededor de 15 min , y luego con la mentira de parte de la mesera se lo volvieron ha hacer para que la pasta estuviera fresca, eso fue mentira ya que la pasta estaba chiclosa, y frio el plato.

Mold & other problems throughout
Pros:

We were disappointed in this hotel. Our first room on the 1st floor was so moldy-smelling and swampy that we almost checked out. The staff didn’t seem surprised but calmly scanned inventory and gave us a less moldy room on the second floor. It still smelled but less so. We were resting after a long day of travel with a “Do Not Disturb” sign on our door and someone knocked. We didn’t answer. They knocked again. We said, “we are sleeping! Do not disturb!” Instead, a man ENTERED OUR ROOM to deliver a fruit plate from the front desk as an apology for the moldy room. SOOO insanely egregious and creepy. Glad I was with my husband and not there alone. I would not rec this hotel nor would I stay here again. The only redeeming part is the courtyard.
