Stanford Park Hotel Review

Great helpful staff, good food and good drinks. I had the pork chop and it was fantastic. The burger is great here too!

The room amenities were not a big surprise for a 4 star hotel, but the service at SPH was phenomenal. The hotel staff was super nice and we're happy to help with all my requests. I had a friend come with a Nintendo Switch, and it couldnt connect to the television. We called room service and the staff member switched out our broken television with a new 49".

Wonderfully appointed oasis on El Camino Real. All the comforts of home! Great breakfast, comfortable beds, quiet, nice amenities, amazing staff, centrally located near campus and town.

Great ambiance in the lounge, fireplace and firepit. Food was excellent

Nice hotel closed to allied arts guild and Stanford shopping center. Great food as well. Old world ambiance and great place to grab a drink.

Convenient location, fast internet, great customer service. I always enjoy my stay!

Went to the restaurant.. Food was well prepared and served timely. The atmosphere was pleasant and quiet so conversation was possible. A very enjoyable experience.

Training seminar with a service vendor. Not your typical breakfast fair, but actually a great quiche and a nice platter of smoked salmon with capers, chopped hard boiled eggs, and onions. Nicely done.

the hotel was unique and had a good feel to it. It was quiet and the customer service was good

Stay here was fantastic. Great hotel, really nice courtyard area with a good bar and restaurant. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area

I loved it
It was amazing
I've wanted to go to stanford for 13 years and now im finally there with a scholarship

I ate at the Menlo Grill and had great food. The California omelet for breakfast is excellent.

Really nice hotel! Really posh. My room was located really far away from the elevator so that was a bit of hassle but otherwise no complaints. The 4 star is because of the rooms were not well insulated for noise. I could hear someone banging on the floor or door at the level below.

Clean and the staff is very attentive. Centrally located to key business hubs as well as recreational activities.

The place was great! I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was quick and efficient. I already recommend it to all my friends

Above and beyond service + delicious food made our stay

While i was only there for one night, and only really for a short number of hours at that, the Stanford Park Hotel was lovely and accommodating. Everything was extremely clean, and there was great attention to detail. The staff was friendly and helpful in our limited interactions.

I would definitely welcome the chance to stay there again.

Room was nice but a fan ran all night. Kind of loud. The staff could of been more friendly.

Went for a dinner social event. Food and service was good.

Ate at Menlo Grill Bistro and Bar. Service was excellent and food was delicious.

Only went to the hotel for an uber ride, interior seemed very nice and comfy looking and the staff was very nice

As my visit was for a professional training session, I didn't have a chance to visit most of the various corner of this beautiful hotel. The staff are extremely polite, helpful and courteous.

I love this place. It's very classic. Rooms are very large and the staff is fantastic.

I love here. Wonderful position! Wonderful service and environment! Especially the sweet bar!

Good room, and thanks for the treats and free bottle of water!

Excellent service and great ambiance. Nicely appointed rooms with surprising additions (wireless charging stand was great). Complimentary snacks coffee and pastries helped with the early morning grogginess.

We stopped by for dinner to get out of the heat. The AC was, unfortunately not quite up to it, but the food was very good. Service was fantastic as well.

I was there at Menlo Grill Bistro for a birthday party. I like the restaurant. Food was good. Very professional service . People serving us were very pleasant and helpful. Overall, I had good experience at the restaurant

The restaurant was amazing. The food was beautiful, fresh and delicious. The service impeccable. I would love to come back here again.

Excellent hotel ! It's one of the best I've ever seen across the globe. Clean room, great service, fast check in, great location, etc. Definitely you will enjoy your stay here !

Excellent - quiet, lovely atmosphere, great food, reasonable prices, lots of free parking.

The Stanford park hotel restaurant is not currently open maybe due to renovations. We had breakfast instead in the lounge. Seating is also available outside. The breakfast menuis a bit more limited than previously but very delicious. The lounge is a bit dark for breakfast.

Beautiful hotel, great ambiance, many unique amenities

The staff was friendly, rooms were big, beds were enormously big, though the hotel is located next to the train station, we didn t hear any noise from trains, snacks and water were included, loved outdoors jacuzzi and pool and free parking - the hotel is pretty expensive, so you kinda expect all of that.

Solid hotel, a bit difficult to get to on el Camino. Very nice vibe to the place.

Nice selection of breakfast items on the restaurant menu

September 17th of last year I had the pleasure of family, friends, my wife and I staying at this hotel for our wedding. The Hotel and the staff were fantastic. With this in mind I invited two of my co-workers one of whom is planning a large wedding for her daughter to stop there after work for drinks.
It was all downhill from there.
The person tending the bar who was also the Manager, Menlo Grill Bistro & Bar handed me the Happy Hour Menu and the regular menu. The Happy Hour Menu looked great, three different wines or a cocktail plus a variety of appetizers all for 5 dollars from 3- 5 PM. Great! Wrong!!!
I asked for the red blend and was told they were all out, okay I thought I ll have the Pinot Gris. The manger went to the side room and brought out a bottle opened it and poured me a glass, no problem. I told him I was waiting for two friends and as I was sitting at the bar a gentlemen came back from the outside, returned his food and showed the bartender what appeared to be a single piece of soggy bacon on his bacon burger, and refused to pay for it. Okay .I thought.
My friends arrived, ordered their drinks and we also ordered three of the appetizers from the Happy Hour Menu, normal stuff, wings, calamari, and pork belly, from a new bartender and payed for all of it at the bar. We went outside and sat down to enjoy the day. Once we sat down the bartender came back out and said they were out of all the food on the Happy Hour Menu but we could order off the regular menu if we wanted, and, that the manger would be out to give us back the money we had just paid for the food.
The manager did come out, returned the money for the food and stated he was sorry. I in turn told him that I was very disappointed; I had been at the hotel last September and how good it was then and now to bring friends there and this happen was embarrassing. His reply was sorry but you can order food off the regular menu if you want .
So we did, we ordered calamari and the charcuterie plate. Somehow the same dish (calamari) that was on the Happy Hour Menu but not available, was now available on the dinner menu at twice the price. The food itself was not very good. Sauce for the calamari was mayonnaise and cayenne pepper, the bottom slices of the salami had what looked like a blue tinge to them. Not good for a Hotel of this stature and reputation
My wife was recommending the Stanford Park Inn to three of her friends who are getting married. When I went home I told her the same story I am telling now. I think they would be better off looking elsewhere until the management gets there act together.

Excellent place for meetings. Quiet and beautiful in the midst of Silicon Valley.

Service and ambiance 5 stars food mediocre was better prior to renovation

Nice place and centrally located. Easy to get anywhere.

The service is tremendous!! Everyone is willing to go out of the way to help. The American Girl package is fantastic. My daughter loved that doll got pampered too.

Breakfast was good (not great), nice setting, spotty (but friendly) service

I don't like this kind of ambient. Traditional decoration, and you feel the train crossing each 20 minutes

The room was like a small apartment with luxurious appointments: comfortable lounging chairs, a spacious bath, two sink areas, and a fireplace! The staff was wonderful, knowledgeable, and gracious. We really enjoyed our time at the bar exchanging pleasantries with Ron and the rest of the staff. Newspapers, coffee, teas, and pastries in the morning were a welcome treat that started the day off beautifully. We highly recommend this place.

A fairly large group of us went for drinks, they were good, service was medium (kinda slow and sometimes didn't get the orders right)

This is a great little hotel...the Silicon Valley area. Everything in the area is dated and expensive. This hotel does a great job of having a friendly staff and a decent price. The bar and restaurant needed more staffing for the demand, but has a nice atmosphere. Rooms are dated, but are ok.

I worked with the Stanford Park Hotel to coordinate a group visit. The staff is very responsive and easy to work with.

Definately a date place. Not sure it's going right for a business meeting or just hanging out with your buddy though.

Very nice hotel, great rooms, nice bar and good food. However, it feels like a hotel right out of the movie My Cousin Vinny with the CalTrans train blasting its horn hourly through the night.

Beautiful hotel. Has a great selection of food at the bar and restaurant. Wonderful outdoor patio/pool area with numerous fire pits. Gives a romantic and classy feel.

Beautiful place and amazing experience. Staff is so professional, welcoming and attentive to their guests needs. Simply the best!!

Very comfortable clean and safe the bad thing is the manager as he does not treat employees very well

Great experience and very helpful and accommodating staff

The hotel is beautiful and staff very friendly. My family really enjoyed it as I was a patient at Stanford Medical. When I came back for a follow-up the staff went out of their way to make it relaxing and pleasant for my wife and I.

This is a fairly standard boutique hotel. Facilities are very pretty, inside and out, but they do have some issues -- I was initially assigned to a room that had broken air-conditioning, and the noise from the CalTrain next door is noticeable but not obtrusive. Service is polite and attentive, and the location is convenient to Stanford, 101, etc.

We live in the area but decided to stay here for a night to enjoy the pool. Great idea, we'll definitely come back! Very centrally located, great service, good sized rooms. We enjoyed our stay as a family.

The best hotel in Palo Alto by far. Old Palo Alto atmosphere, great late dinner options and remarkable bar service.

Really nice hotel, a little bit on the high-end side with great service and amenities. There s also a good restaurant inside the hotel as well.

The good was great, the beer was cold, and the decor was nice. Would definitely eat here again, or have business lunches here.

Great place for a late night dinner and a drink. Food and service were both good, and not overpriced. Could use more organic options on the menu though.

Great place to host an event. Staff is helpful and easy to work with.

Multiple stays at a very fine hotel convenient to Stanford University and environs

stuffy and almost too formal-looking. you'd love this place if you consider yourself from an earlier era!

A lovely older hotel. Very well updated rooms with nice firm beds and so many complimentary touches (hot cider and apples at checkin, chips, cookies and water bottles in a basket in the room, workout room and sauna...)

Great hotel, staff was very nice. Had Omar as a drive and he was great! Excellent conversation and know ledge of the area.
