Cardinal Hotel

Was clean, bright, tasteful inside. Location to Stanford is great.

Great location in central Palo Alto

The location was great. I like the option of staying in a room with a shared bathroom. This made the overall cost less expensive. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and welll cared for; I hardly knew anyone else was even on the floor.

This hotel was very clean and the staff was accommodating.

Beautiful and charming hotel. The location was excellent and the room very clean and comfortable.

ottima posizione, a downtown, vicino a tutti i locali e ristoranti e a meno di 10 min dalla stazione.

Great location in Palo Alto near caltrain station and many shops and restaurants. Very lively neighborhood.

I chose this hotel for the location and value. I stayed here before and these were big factors in my decision to return. The room was spacious and the hotel was really clean. Loved the antique items spread throughout the hotel (mainly lobby), the phone booths, writing desk, etc. The front desk staff was courteous and very helpful.

Beautiful historic building. Windows opened up directly over the plaza. Gorgeous!

The places is charming, and the staff is very nice. The cleaning crew works very hard. The Bistro they have for breakfast is quite nice, and quick. It is in a great location for Palo Alto (boy that town has changed over the past 20 years). Stanford families, you should choose this place as it is quite close to the campus. Lots of great restaurants near by.

Exceptional location, an amazing breakfast, and outstanding hospitality. The hotel offers great value for money, and the staff are incredibly accommodating.

I liked the location. It was very good and the bed was comfortable.

We loved this hotel! It has a delightful old world charm, with comfortable and very clean rooms. It felt like we were stepping into the past as we entered the lobby, with very high ceilings, a huge fireplace, and comfortable seating for gathering. The rooms aren’t huge but they were nicely appointed, charming, and very clean. There is no AC in the rooms but the ceiling fan worked well and there was a fan/AC unit in the closet that we didn’t need to use.

The location is fabulous - walking g distance to everything in downtown Palo Alto. There are restaurants and cafes everywhere, as well as a movie theater, CVS, and clothing stores. And it’s a short walk to Stanford University.

I highly recommend this hotel, unless ultra-modern is your thing and then this place is not for you.

This hotel has no hospitality. I received a room that was right above the dumpsters and both nights my sleep was disrupted by people collecting glass bottles - it’s horribly loud and jarring at 2a!. When I kindly asked if there might be a complimentary rate adjustment for the inconvenience, I was essentially told “too bad”. Apparently, they don’t want repeat business; I certainly won’t stay or recommend this to anyone!!

We love staying at the Cardinal. The staff are welcoming and helpful and the hotel's location in central Palo Alto is convenient for connections to Stanford and the Caltrain. The rooms are very clean and comfortable.
