Property Description

The Creekside Inn is part of Palo Alto's history. In 1955 the property was but a small 30-room hotel amongst the oak trees with cabins looking over the creek. Over the years the Creekside Inn has expanded to a full service 136-room property, consisting of delightful small buildings surrounded by oak trees, gardens, and Matadero Creek. The Creekside Inn is situated on 3 1/2 lovely landscaped acres and features comfortably appointed guestrooms. They are very spacious and all offer private patios, in-room coffee makers, hair dryers, voicemail and refridgerators. In addition each room offers complimentary wireless internet access, bottled water, and use of our plush terry-cloth robes. Deluxe rooms with kitchenettes and large seating areas are also available.

"Everything went excellent. I'm really glad I decided to go with both your company and Sierra Suites for accommodations for my wedding. People are now wishing there were more Sierra Suites around. They were even kind enough to offer the discounted rate to those people that weren't sure they'd make to the wedding until after the cutoff date. I have already referred someone to your service for a wedding she's planning in Michigan." R.S. - Parsippany, NY
