We stayed here as guests for a wedding reception in the hotel. It is in a very good location in downtown Palo Alto. Beautiful classic interior decor, super quiet rooms, friendly service, easy city parking across the street and next door, with high speed EV chargers, in addition to valet parking in the hotel. The Italian restaurant, Il Fornaio, is next door to the hotel and convenient, where the rehearsal dinner took place. The reception in the hotel was amazing, the food was delicious, especially the abundant hours d'oeuvres, and charcuterie boards. The service was outstanding, and the facilities were beautiful and well maintained. We truly enjoyed our stay, and would highly recommend for a wedding reception.
