Verified reviews of Creekside Inn

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Exceeded my expectations!"
Overall score5.0/ 5
I randomly found this hotel a couple of weeks ago online and saw some lovely reviews. I was pleasantly surprised because the room was huge, I had a large balcony and the amenities were well thought out including an oversized, wrap around, bath towel which is so rare! The room was pristine and I felt like I had a suite. It was very well priced for Palo Alto and I would definitely stay here again!

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.
