Hotels with Bars in Palo Alto

The main building is in poor shape. The entire building is severely sloped with about a 3 inch drop every 10 feet or so. If you are not accustomed to it be ready to get somewhat seasick for a day or two get accustomed to it. The worst part is sleeping with your head significantly lower than your feet. Horrible. If you must stay there insist on a room in the newer addition. On the positive side the rooms were super clean and staff was friendly.

A great stay at a great city. When you want to travel with your spouse, you don't want to spend too much time in searching instead you go with such a highly recognized brand like this and most of time you don't regret your pick.

THE GOOD: The hotel was recently renovated, rooms are nicely renovated with beautiful bathrooms. A nice size fitness center and a small but nice pool area. THE BAD: Wifi was absolutely horrible, there was ZERO wi-fi service in the lobby, restaurant or pool area. The Wi-fit would connect for 2 - 3 seconds then drop. When I asked the attended at the café if I could use the Westin Meeting wi-fi I was told no, they don’t have the password. In my room every so often the wi-fi would drop and it would take 20 – 30 minutes to reconnect!!! Furthermore, the power outlet at the desk was dead, there was also no power near the bed to plug in your laptop! Sadly, the food and beverage offerings at this hotel are on par with a Holiday Inn Express. There is no full-service restaurant, just a grab and go café which serves mediocre food. There is a limited breakfast buffet in the morning with poor quality food. On both mornings of my stay the scrambled eggs were a rubbery mess, the breakfast potatoes lacked flavor. The only item that seemed decent to eat were the fresh berries and bread. The quality of the food from room service/grab and go was also upsetting. If you want a full-service dinning experience, you are told to walk over to the Sheraton…. really? BTW: I was told the hotel kitchen is also located at the Sheraton, food is not cooked onsite at the Westin. Hospitality at the hotel is hit and miss. The front desk seems pleasant, but staff were very hesitant to go the extra mile to please… they lacked the hospitality soft skills I have experienced at other hotels of the same caliber. Café staff is very unhelpful, not very friendly, I receive a far better guest experience at my local In-N-Out Burger. In the end if you are expecting an upscale hotel experience in the Palo Alto / Stanford area the Westin disappoints. For the price I would expect a memorable experience, one where you would hate to leave and could not wait to return. During my stay I was looking forward to leaving, I really felt like it was a waste of $$$ and time staying here. When I left, I felt like I had just stayed at a Holiday Inn express with upscale rooms. Hotel should be rebranded... it's not an upscale full service hotel that is about hospitality with a mindset of wellness.

Pros: (For this part, this hotel deserved a 5-star review) 1. Rohan the front desk manager was nice. He made me feel welcome. He acknowledged the Hilton gold member status right away and offered the perks without me asking. He offered $ 10 breakfast credit or additional reward points.Which I picked the breakfast credit. He also gave us an upgrade to a bigger room and waived the parking fee. 2. The room is really clean and everything in great order. For example, the bathtub held the temperature of water for a long time and the shower drains fast. The bed is firm, which I like a lot. The thermostat, the refrigerator, the TV, etc all in great condition. The edges of the bathroom walls or around the bathtub also looked very clean. 3. The gym, the swimming pool, and the hot tub are all well maintained.4. The location is really good. Close to all the places we need to go. 5. The room does not have any strange smell. Cons: (For this part, one star out of five was removed) 1. Billing system: Used the Hilton app to checkout on my mobile phone. The pdf of the receipt never arrive in my email. So I went to the front desk to ask for a printout of the receipt. That was when I found out that all the perks (waive parking fee, breakfast credit, etc) promised at check-in for gold member status were not honored and my credit card was charged. The front desk manager could not find the credits in the system until I mentioned Rohan's name. Then the credits were finally applied and I got a new receipt. So it is always a great idea to make sure you review the receipt before leaving the hotel to avoid surprises like that. 2. $12.95 continental breakfast per person is steep, considering what you get. There are just some cut fruits, pastries, and bagels, and Quaker instant oatmeal in the cup. I was expecting some eggs, pancakes or hash browns for that price. I don't recommend it unless you need the convenience of eating breakfast in the hotel and you are given the $10 credits. 3. Instructions about the facility are lacking: I could not find the pool hours and breakfast hours on the hotel website or in the app. I did not see any posted signs about the hours, either. Had to ask the front desk for information. 4. The blackout curtain in the bedroom cannot totally be pulled to the center to cover the entire window. It left a big gap (about 4 feet wide). got woken up by the bright light early. 5.$15 parking fee.

The hotel is close to Stanford university, the price is small, the parking lot is free, no breakfast, the service is very good, the surrounding is convenient, there is a big Sichuan dish at 300 meters, next to the gas station

I've stayed at Dinah's twice in the last few months and each time have been impressed with the rooms and the ambience, and most of all the friendly and professional staff. The rooms are clean and--for the price--well appointed. I like the the whole thing: the ponds and fountains and ducks (and ducklings in the spring), even the section of El Camino on which it's located--one of the slightly less busy commercial strips in Palo Alto.

excellent service good location nice view My top one choice to stay in Palo Alto

What a great experience! We had a fantastic, one night stay, at El Prado. Sara, told us, that she was putting us, in a beautiful, spacious, room. She was not kidding. We stayed in room 404, very quiet, super comfortable bed, and very spacious. Her coworker, at the front desk, told us our dinner reservation, at nearby, St. Michael, was a great choice, a wonderful restaurant. He was right. The El Prado, is a beautiful, quiet, centrally located hotel, with great staff, at the front desk! Thank you Sara, for the beautiful room!

Das Nobu Hotel kann als Business Hotel wärmstens empfohlen werden. Für Familien ist es jedoch eher nicht geeignet. Wir hatten uns für 10 Tage einquartiert und in Summe drei Zimmer belegt. Die Zimmer sind schön, modern und aufgeräumt. Den Mehrpreis für Ryokan Zimmer kann man sich aber sparen. Die Wanne ist bestenfalls für ein Fussbad geeignet. Mit Staubwischen hinter den Möbeln hat man es auch nicht so. Mir fiel eine Socke hinter den Nachttisch und als ich sie aufgehoben habe war sie voller Staub. Etwas Schade, wenn doch sonst alles so schön sauber gehalten wird. Die Betten waren fantastisch und man konnte sehr gut einschlafen. Allerdings hört man sehr den Strassenlärm, wenn die Zimmer zur Strasse gerichtet sind. Wer also leicht aus dem Schlaf aufschreckt ist gut beraten Zimmer nach hinten raus zu nehmen. Wir hatten unsere Zimmer mit Frühstück gebucht und konnten jeden Morgen herrlich schlemmen. Das Frühstücksmenü ist war klein, aber der Avocado-Toast und der French-Toast wurden sehr schnell zu unseren absoluten Favoriten. Auch die anderen Frühstücksgerichte sind zu empfehlen. Der Valetservice ist sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man mit einem Auto zum Hotel kommt, Parklätze sind wie überall in Palo Alto rar. Überhaupt, war der Service immer überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Einzig unser Abreisetag wurde etwas stressig, da man uns keinen späteren Check-out als 13.00 Uhr für ein Zimmer gönnen wollte. Zwei Zimmer hatten wir bereits um 10.00 Uhr geräumt. Unser Flug ging aber erst um 20.00 Uhr. Also was macht man mit acht Koffern und dem Nachmittag, wenn man nicht mehr im Hotel bleiben kann? Da hätte ich mehr Rücksicht vom Hotelmanagement erwartet. Nobu Hotel can be highly recommended as a business hotel. However, it is not suitable for families. We stayed for ten days and occupied a total of three rooms. The rooms are nice, modern and tidy. However, you can save yourself the extra price for a Ryokan room. The bathtub is, at best, suitable for a footbath. Dusting behind the furniture is not a big deal either. I dropped a sock behind the bedside table, and when I picked it up, it was full of dust. It's a shame when everything else is kept so clean. The beds were fantastic, and it was very easy to fall asleep. However, you can hear much street noise when the rooms face the street. If you are easily startled out of your sleep, you would be well advised to take a room facing the back. We booked our rooms with breakfast and had a lovely feast every morning. The breakfast menu was small, but the avocado toast and French toast quickly became our favourites. The other breakfast dishes are also recommended. The valet service is highly recommended if you come to the hotel with a car; parking spaces are scarce everywhere in Palo Alto. The service was always amiable and courteous. Our departure day was a bit stressful, as we could not check out later than 1 pm for a room. We had already vacated two rooms at 10.00 am. However, our flight did not leave until 8.00 p

Very very good hotel The whole process is the most satisfying one. Long-term rental and short-term rental. Foreigners are very friendly. The facilities are very good. The swimming pool is too small. This day, you can't swim. It doesn't affect the other.
