Pleasant is the best way to describe this hotel which we have stayed at many times related to Stanford medical visits. We were a little disappointed on the most recent visit. Our room was spacious and comfortable but a little dark, not quite dingy but close. The room safe did not work and hotel staff did not know how to... More

I had read too many bad reviews about STI and so I was a bit concerned that my husband and I were being put up here while he was giving a lecture at Stanford. no need for any worry! we had a second floor room near the elevator ... it was completely quiet, the room was spacious, the bed was... More

I have stayed here twice in the past month visiting Stanford Hospital. The only room available both times was the "allergy free" rooms which were higher priced. I did receive a Stanford Hospital discount of $10. The rooms are spacious and they had an air purifier in them. The breakfast was ok, parking included in their underground garage. Old rickety...

This motel is not anything special. Just "ok." Was a little leery staying here at first since the rooms are exterior. Staff "ok." Breakfast "ok." Room "ok." Did not provide shampoo and that was a bit surprising as conditioner was provided. Maybe just an oversight. I thought the cost was not "ok." Very expensive compared to chains I usually stay... More

I stayed one night, on Thanksgiving, 2011. I was not happy with the room which I found out needed maintenance and cleaning after I moved in. I just didn't notice everything at once and should have moved to another room. I gave the clerks at the front desk my complaint in writing thinking I would get some response. I was... More

Very quaint. Reminds me of 90210. HUGE rooms, some with kitchenette, some with kitchen, lots of space. Hardwood floors, VERY close to Stanford's campus More

This inn has large rooms with nice bathrooms. The free breakfast buffet is good too. But the building is constructed from wood frame instead of concrete and the walls seem thin, so you can hear your neighbors even when they talk at normal levels. Our latest neighbor had just arrived from the East Coast and woke us up when he... More

I've stayed at this hotel/inn for 6 nights in a big suite (I'm not sure which suite I was staying in). To start with positive things, the location was excellent for I was on a business trip doing work in Stanford Univ. Room was oversized and clean enough for me. I could hear the sound of TV from the room... More

I used this place in the past for work all the time due to the proximity to SU campus, but the the entire booking/billing process recently has been a nightmare (note: under new mgmt). I am not a complainer, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and they messed up NUMEROUS times. The staff at the front desk/phones... More

The lobby area is quite small, but happy that despite its size, they managed to fit in an elevator to the rooms. The room was rather dark - one corner lamp was not working, but since was only putting up there for one night, I didn't bother to get it fixed. The room was of a good size, wardrobe area... More
