SCAM... STAY AWAY!!! Tried to book the hotel with the special offer. All dates, time period, and other conditions of the offer were in compliance. Yet they do not honor the offer. There are no other restrictions nor fine print to review. I tried calling the hotel and was given to the main reservation center and they confirmed that the... More

“Credit Card Mistake - Not acceptable”

Very disturbing. I got charged an extra $500 something on my credit card. When I realized and called to inquire about this mistake, but the manager (after doing some due diligence) told me that my credit card was used for another guest as he and I happened to check in at the same time. Apparently, the front desk person got... More

Dear YosM, I was very sorry to hear what transpired during your recent stay. It must have been unsettling having your card double-charged. I am pleased that it was rectified expeditiously. Please rest assured experiences such as this are uncaccepteable and not at all typical of our property. After further researching how it transpired, additional training was completed with our...

“Disappointing Platinum experience”

person found this review helpful

As the other reviews tell you, the Westin Palo Alto is a very convenient location, with a friendly boutique style. I am disappointed, however, by how they look after their Starwood Platinum guests, consider the following: 1. No room upgrade for me, I just have a standard room 2. No club lounge 3. No complimentary breakfasts, or even a bagel,... More

Dear Steve1234576, I am sorry to hear that we did not live up to your expectations relating to priority treatment given to Platinum SPG guests. We appreciate your loyalty and certainly aim to make you and our SPG guests feel special. Because our hotel does not have a Club Level and only 9% of our inventory are suites, we continually... More

“Comfortable rooms, pleasant staff, incredible shower.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

Straight off the bat, I think the thing I enjoy most when I stay in the Westin PA is the shower. It's one of the best I've ever used. That to one side, it's a very comfortable hotel, great bed, nice staff. Never eaten there, but I'm sure it's standard US buffet. It's also got a great location at the... More

I stayed at the lovely Westin when I was on business at Stanford and a VIP dinner in Palo Alto. it was a pretty good price for the location (Palo Alto is expensive and I'm a Londoner!)
