Quick trip

A quick trip to Palo Alto for business on a budget. This was a perfectly okay alternative to the high priced places. The bed and bedding was comfortable, the shower was new and clean. It had what I needed: makeup mirror, hair dryer, robe. I would stay again

Very nice place

A bit noisy. The footsteps of the oeopke above us seemed very loud and I don’t think they were stomping. The floors could use some extra noise cancelling insulation. People outside were calling to each other but that stopped during quiet hours. Also we could hear a neighbors’ television. Otherwise the hotel was lovely, clean, and welcoming

The hotel feels really safe and the design of the whole hotel is nice. The place is very green and the room is very clean. The sink is in the room rather than the bathroom which is a bit inconvenient. Would stay there again.

Creekside Inn

Our stay in Palo Alto Creekside Inn was for Medical purposes. Our stay at Creekside Inn was very quiet, clean room, bed was comfortable. Patio was nice & quite to eat our lunch. There was a Deli store near Creekside Inn. It was very convenient to go to the Deli store to order what ever we wanted. They have deli sandwiches, salads, soups. coffee bar and beer, wine, soda, water, vitamin water, ice cream. Whatever you need.

Good for families

Charming updated old-western motel style. Beautiful grounds and check in was quick. Secure lot with a handy laundromat and deli on site. Bathrooms are updated, but still on the small side because this is a renovation of an older place. Worked well for our family.
