    It was on a good location and the staff was awesome. Very friendly.

    At checkout the person behind the desk was rude. Lobby full of guests and he was on the phone. I had some questions about reserving a room for this week.

    The room was wonderful! The bed was so very comfortable. The room was very clean.

    The room was very cold when we got there and it was difficult to get it warmed up. It seemed to stay at a set temperature and I couldn’t adjust it any higher.

    We didn’t eat breakfast

    The rooms are much smaller than on photos, and was facing a loud roadstreet.

    The location is super close to Stanford University, and has nice and comfy beds. The coffee was offered by the property and free of charge (very tasty!). There was a heated swimming pool and free parking.

    it would be nice if the "free breakfast" was specifically mentioned as "grab & go" type of fare It would be nice if the amenity fee actually spelled out workout room. Sadly, we were not aware of it till checkout.

    Liked the bed and bedding. Liked the robes in the closet. nice sized refrigerator with space for our personal supplies magnifying mirror in bathroom our particular room had a nice view of greenery The opening window was welcome option !

    It surely needs a bit of renovation. When 4 people are in the room amenities should also be for 4!

    Very nice, peaceful garden. As we were on a toad trip the laundry room was a great addition. The breakfast was small but still enough to have a good start for the day.

    The room smell. I am allergic to whatever they spry it with between customers. My eyes watered and my nose itched for my whole stay. I was really looking forward to a bathtub. I was disappointed that there was no bathtub... only an middle overhead shower that I could not use without getting my hair wet.

    I LOVED the bed and the pillows and the linens. I want some for my own house! I loved that there was a refrigerator and a hot water brewer for my tea. I loved the balcony. I loved the extraordinary quiet... I have never been in such a quiet hotel. Thank you.

    We didn’t like room service knocking on door before 9am. Also the water fountains outside were really loud inside the room, but on the bright side it was white noise to focus on to try to sleep.

    Cozy accommodations by the creek.

    Advertising that the property offers breakfast is not really accurate. Only a couple of yogurts and some pastries if you get lucky and they are not gone.

    The garden is nice, with a well-tended landscape. The room was clean.
