"Leuke laatste stop voor thuiskomst"

10.0

Het is een prachtig hotel in het centrum van het chique plaatsje Palo Alto. Er zijn veel leuke en soorten plekken om te eten. Een wandeling in de achterliggende wijken is prachtig. Je kunt zien dat het een welvarend stadje is. Ook geschikt als laatste stop voordat je vanuit San Francisco weer naar huis toe gaat. Het internationale vliegveld is slechts op 35 minuten afstand.

"Stay here if you're in Palo Alto"

10.0

I wish this charming boutique hotel were a chain with operations all over the U.S., because they get just about everything right. The valets charge your Tesla. Everyone pampers your pooch. The front desk handles everything. There's coffee, tea, and newspapers on your floor in the morning. The obviously recent renovation is tasteful; we especially enjoyed the nature photography in the room and the beautiful marble bath. We are Southern Californians so we like to leave open a window or door at night, and the French doors to our room allowed us to do that comfortably.

"Fabulous Hotel - the best in Palo Alto for sure !!!"

10.0

The location of the hotel is perfect as there are many things close by. The hotel itself is very clean and opulent. More importantly, the staff is what makes this hotel so special. From front desk to sales manager to banquet manager this was fabulous from start to finish. They helped me put together rooms, catering, and a board room on a Saturday for a Monday night meeting. The boardroom for the meeting was just as pristine and the banquet food was delicious. Thank you el Prado my group will definitely be back !!!!

"Worth a visit if you can get a competitive rate."

6.0

The location of the hotel is perfect- right in the middle of down town Palo Alto. Front desk staff and housekeeping was extremely friendly. The rooms are very spacious and well equipped. Luxury beds.

The bellboys were rarely available to help- just sat at their desk on a mobile phone with the phone speaker on, oblivious to a guest passing by the door. Completely unacceptable for a hotel of this assumed standing. Sadly I also had a very noisy room- room 405 suffers from loud noise from the AC unit on the roof so I asked to be moved with they did fully support me with.
