I stayed here for a post op visit at Stanford. Parking is included and a dinky continental breakfast. We were on the 2nd floor and there was a huge gap under our door. I had to put my duffel bag in front of it to block the light, but also to keep potential critters out. I liked that the remote... More

We've had to visit Stanford and Lucile Packard Hospitals several times in the past five years and have stayed at most of the motels along El Camino Real in Palo Alto and Menlo Park. Best Western Plus Riviera is our choice to stay if we have a little extra money to spend or during slow periods. BW Plus Riviera offers... More

the staff is very friendly and helpful. I have stayed here weekly for over 2 years, and have watched as they have constantly improved their motel. They've recently put in all new furniture in the rooms. Their most recent addition has been to add new large flat screen tv sets. After a long work day in Palo Alto, I find... More

I had a business meeting in downtown Palo Alto, and all of the city center hotels were priced WAY high. So after looking a little, I came across the Best Western Plus Riviera. This was a clean, conservative, simple and nice hotel. The front desk staff was very pleasant. I had hoped for an early check-in (since I had just... More

Check in good - manager was v. nice and helpful. Ice machine was broken but he went next door and got ice for us and also discounted our room rate. Our room was a front corner room and very small but clean with adequate amenities. The bathroom was small but clean. The bed was comfortable with good pillows. AC was... More

This is a pleasant place at a good price for the area. A short drive (or not terribly long walk) to the Stanford campus, and an easy walk to downtown Palo Alto. My only suggestions would be to ask for a room away from the street on the second floor. Mine was close to the street and the noise is... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night after attending a late-starting Stanford football game. The hotel is located just a few blocks north of campus on the main four-lane street in the area. It is also right next to the upscale Stanford Shopping Center. The desk clerk gave us Rm. 107 which was located behind the office and... More

We stayed 2 nights on the Memorial Day weekend; the room rate was very reasonable. The hotel is located right on the border with Palo Alto. It's about a 6 block walk to downtown Menlo Park & a short drive to downtown Palo Alto & Stanford. The Stanford Shopping Center is about 1/2 block away. Our room was very clean.... More

This was my 3rd trip to Palo Alto and longest stay of the three. Prices vary in almost every hotel by day and time of year. My previous two trips, I've moved between the Best Western Riviera and the Westin (Palo Alto) to get the best stay for the money but in this case I spent all 6 nights at... More
