"SUBLIME/Excellent Service 🙌🏻"

10.0

Upon my arrival at the property, I was greeted by the valet team, and instantly, the meticulous attention to detail throughout the property caught my eye. As I stepped through the doors, I was enveloped by the sophisticated and luxurious NEWSTALGIA fragrance that filled every corner of this stunning establishment. The lobby is a perfect blend of romance and charm, creating an inviting and immaculate atmosphere with every detail curated. The furniture is not only solid and comfortable but also exudes chic elegance, significantly enhancing the overall aesthetic. The front desk staff are truly the cornerstone of this hotel's extraordinary service. Diana transformed a challenging day at Stanford into a positive experience with her attitude, extreme politeness, professionalism, and empathetic demeanor. She went above and beyond to assist me with parking, wrote a handwritten note to cheer me up, had a big smile and super positive vibes. Diana provided excellent suggestions to restaurants and places around the hotel making her an outstanding employee! Aylin was equally impressive, consistently displaying a positive attitude, efficiency, and attentiveness. She handled all my requests promptly and with a genuine smile. Darnell also stood out with his exceptional politeness and attentiveness, exemplifying the hotel's commitment to service even at 1 AM when I required items to be delivered to my room. Diana, Aylin, and Darnell epitomize outstanding customer service, and their efforts are deeply appreciated. Thank you all! At President’s Terrace, the ambiance is electric, cozy, warm, and incredibly chic, with breathtaking views of Palo Alto that enhance the experience. Erica's exceptional service and insightful recommendations elevated my evening to an unforgettable level. Her enthusiasm, attentive listening, and delicious suggestions showcase excellence in the food and beverage industry. Erica, thank you for the delightful food, drinks, and vibrant atmosphere you provided, which added immensely to my experience. The room exceeded my highest expectations. From the moment I entered, I was greeted by the signature scent, and the room was immaculate, showcasing an extraordinary level of cleanliness. The decor is thoughtfully designed, with high-end furniture and well-planned spaces where everything has its place. The careful selection of every element, from the wallpaper to the bathroom sconces, underscores the commitment to quality. The sheets, pillows, fabrics, and toiletries (Malin & Goetz) are of exceptional quality, contributing to a sense of luxury and comfort. The fresh, clean scent of the towels, reminiscent of a light Tom Ford Neroli Portofino fragrance, adds a final touch of elegance. The room is a true masterpiece, combining art, scent, high-quality furnishings, and unparalleled comfort. Breakfast and coffee at Lou & Herbert’s were exceptional experiences. The service was fast, the breakfast delicious, and the coffee among the best I have ever had, which is saying a lot as a frequent coffee drinker. The gentleman serving was kind, attentive, and efficient, making for a pleasant morning start. Lastly, during the checkout process, Daniel, the Office Manager, demonstrated politeness, extensive knowledge, and made the process smooth and efficient. Chelsey, impeccably dressed and exuding positivity, provided outstanding customer service. She answered all of my questions, shared information about the hotel's signature scent and history, and made my departure as pleasant as my stay. Her professionalism and friendliness were commendable, ensuring that my experience ended on a high note. In conclusion, every aspect of my stay, from the valet service to the room amenities, from dining experiences to the exceptional service by the staff, contributed to one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. The attention to detail, quality of service, and overall ambiance of this property are unparalleled. Thank you to the entire team for making this an unforgettable stay. Thank You, Graduate Hotel Team! 🙌🏻

"In town for a family wedding"

8.0

Cute boutique hotel perfectly located in the center of town. Staff was super pleasant and attentive. Rooms are cute but just a little tight for moving around in. I appreciated the lovely body cream and soap provided. Made my skin so soft. We visited the rooftop bar to check out the view. Definitely would have stopped for a drink if we had the time. Breakfast was OK in the restaurant.
