Had a relaxing stay where the free coffee on each floor was a great perk and the comfy mattress made it hard to get up in the morning! The little garden area was perfect for unwinding after a long day, and the gym was a nice touch, too. Only downside was the lack of nearby dining options, but that didn’t ruin my experience at all. 😊

Our stay was fantastic! We enjoyed relaxing by the beautiful garden pool and lounging in the cozy outdoor seating area, which made it a perfect spot to unwind. The only downside was the snack options at the bar could be better, but overall, I highly recommend this place for a restful getaway! 😊

The location was perfect, just a short walk to the adorable downtown with plenty of restaurants and shops. The room was spacious and beautifully appointed, offering a luxurious feel that was hard to resist. However, I found the breakfast situation a bit inconvenient as I wasn't aware it was provided, and having to get dressed to grab coffee wasn't ideal. Overall, it was a lovely stay, especially after long flights, relaxing in the cozy bar on the second floor with delicious cocktails and a charcuterie board.

Spacious and beautifully decorated suite with an excellent shower experience made my stay remarkably comfortable. The cozy second-floor bar is perfect for winding down with tasty international dishes and enjoyable cocktails. However, there was a slight delay in service during peak hours, and the bathroom lighting could be more flattering. Overall, a very pleasant experience with clean facilities.

The stay was great, mostly due to the beautiful room which had a balcony overlooking the courtyard. It was a perfect spot to enjoy breakfast outside! The location was also fantastic, with shopping and dining just a short walk away. Having a wonderful restaurant right in the lobby was a huge plus. The Europeans vibes made the experience feel even more special.

Charming and Cozy Experience
We recently enjoyed a fantastic stay in a spacious Deluxe King Room, perfectly located near vibrant downtown Palo Alto. The hotel has a lovely bar where we kicked back with some cocktails after arriving, and the breakfast served fresh pastries each morning was a delightful touch. The only drawback was the slightly high parking fees, which can add up quickly during a longer stay.

I absolutely loved my spacious Deluxe King Room, complete with French doors that opened to a tranquil patio where I savored my morning coffee. The second-floor bar was my favorite hangout, where I indulged in a delicious charcuterie board and sipped on cocktails after a long journey. Plus, the convenience of having an Italian restaurant right in the lobby made dining effortless and oh-so-enjoyable!
would recommend 😊❤️
