I have stayed in a number of Westin hotels and while the location of this property cannot be beat, I would not consider this one of the chain's finest. The hotel was clean and as always the beds were outstanding, however, the hotel was very small with very tight facilities. There were limited dining options, a very small pool, and... More

We stayed for a wedding weekend. Perfect location with a shopping center with various small restaurants and a Trader Joe's behind the hotel and a short walk to University St. with more and interesting restaurants and shops. Across the street from Stanford University. No restaurant in the hotel itself, just a breakfast room that closes at 10:30 AM. The Sheraton... More

I am a Starwood Preferred member so wanted to use the Westin, but it was pretty underwhelming and dingy. I had a room on the pool (small pool) and it looked like it had been ridden hard. The carpet was stained in many places. The air conditioning never cooled the room. The room itself was not up to Westin standards... More

I am a Starwood Platinum member and expected more from this hotel. Upon arrival (at the start of a holiday weekend/this is a business hotel), our "best room available" was a small room down the hall on the first floor next to the parking lot/train tracks. When I talked to the manager the next morning, she was aware of the... More

Loved the hotel. Expensive, but the quality of the service I received made it worth every dollar. Conveniently located right in the heart of Palo Alto, right next to downtown. This is the place I will be staying whenever I am in the bay area. Thanks Westin!

Westin is pretty nice and modern hotel. It's great for business trips. Really close to Palo Alto's University Avenue, where you can find a bunch of restaurants. Usually I go to those restaurants instead of the one in the hotel, but I never tried it as well. It is close to the Standford University and with easy access to US... More

I stayed at the Westin Palo Alto with other guests for the Bar Mitzvah, & a good rate was arranged for us. It was convenient to be there to mngle with the other Bar Mitzvah guests when not at the arranged functions. A nice touch was the serving of a little snack (mostly nuts, I think, as I didn't have...

My wife and I have stayed at the Westin several times over the past couple of years and find it to be a top performer in all categories. The location is excellent especially for visiting Stanford. It is right on El Camino and accessible to the campus, shopping, and restaurants. On site parking is very convenient and the Valet Parking... More

This hotel exceeded our expectations. Great rate; we were in for a weekend wedding nearby. The hotel was clean, friendly, perfectly located within walking distance to Stanford University. Fresh coffee in the lobby, a really nice bar, great bathroom and the best smelling shampoo/bodywash/soap I've ever had a hotel.
