I've stayed here a couple times now and have had an overall pleasant experience. The staff is friendly and mostly competent. The bar and grill is good and the bartenders are friendly. The rooms are fairly large and comfortable and some have fireplaces but don't expect modern, this is a vary traditionally styled hotel. The gym is nice though can be busy in the mornings. The location is great, a short walk to downtown Palo Alto, Stanford, or the mall.
