The rooms were spacious and clean. We were able to get adjoined rooms for the family. There is a fantastic walking / jogging path along the bay (with a great view of the airport and the take-off / landings). It was perfect for stretching our legs after a long drive from Napa. It was also fantastic to have the kids out to explore for the two hours before catching our flight (that really helped them chill out on the long-haul flight). We heard no Airport noise, but it was only minutes from the airport. Airport shuttle was super convenient. Staff was super helpful and cheerful.

I needed to be in Palo Alto for the weekend to go to a Stanford program. I loved that most of the workflow (check-in and check-out) with the hotel was done via email and self-serve. It made everything super easy and quick. The hotel was also very centrally located meaning I could walk to all the major areas (Uni Ave, etc) and it took me about 30min to walk to the Stanford campus. The hotel was clean, organized and was functional. I found the bed and pillows to be comfortable and I had lots of space to organize my stuff.
