Clean, comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Easy access to restaurants and mini markets. This hotel is quiet even though it is pet friendly. We did not have a pet and they put you away from those that do. They have many areas to relax outside or in the lobby. very well done. Bathroom is perfect.

"Relaxing Retreat Before Surgery at Stanford Hosp."
Overall score5.0/ 5
We were in town for a day of appointments prior to cancer surgery at Stanford. The atmosphere of the hotel was very relaxing. They offered free wine tasting. My husband was the most relaxed I have seen him since his diagnosis. We sat outside on the patio furniture by the fire as my husband sampled wine. We highly recommend this hotel.
