I stayed here for a few days while attending a work conference. It's a great hotel overall. I'd recommend it to anybody. Pros: + The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. + The rooms are clean and comfortable. + The location is good, with some good places to eat near by, and California Ave is about 15-20 minutes walk away.... more

I stayed here for a week while attending a conference at Google. The 'greener' grounds were a major plus point for me. They made it a more pleasant place to stay than most bland hotels. I even got to sip my complimentary coffee outside while waiting for the shuttle. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and flexible. They coped well... more

Centrally located in Palo Alto, near Stanford University, this hotel offers an oasis of tranquility from the bustling city. Yes, the Bay Area is expensive, with most hotels (including this one) catering to the business traveler. However, for the area, this hotel is reasonably priced. There are two areas in the hotel, with the "tower" being more newly constructed (and... more

Thank you for your review of Creekside Inn. We appreciate your kind review, and your comments! Our hotel is a great spot for the business traveler, not just because of our proximity to many local corporations, but also because we are a full-service hotel with a cozy, home-y feel.

Although the staff was pleasant, I was disappointed by this hotel. Looking at their website and the price of the room, I was expecting so much more than Motel 6 with plants. This hotel is old and resembles a cheap motel. The pictures are deceiving. It was not what I expected and I would not have paid the $165+ for... more

We attended a wedding in Palo Alto at the Garden Court and decided to try something different as far as hotels. We were drawn to the pictures that made it seem like it was much more "natrure" oriented. The reality is that the hotel has much more trees and is more scenic than your average chain hotel but it is... more

Stayed here for one night on a local business trip. What a refreshing change of pace from the bland, impersonal, and apathetic typical business hotel! Well maintained, tastefully decorated rooms, motivated and competent staff, good location and good value. My only complaint is that, like at some other properties, management has gone overboard in reducing light bulb output to save... more

We stayed at the Creekside Inn for 2 nights while on a business trip. Our first impression when we checked in is that it looked "motel like" and we were concerned, but that just goes to show how incorrect first impressions can be. Although we arrived before noon, we received our rooms immediately. They were huge with lots of room... more

We just returned from our trip to Palo Alto for our son's wedding. We booked a block of rooms of all variety, including two suites for the occasion. We personally stayed a full week, including days before and after the wedding itself. We had great service from everyone we encountered before, during, and after the event. The staff was helpful,... more

One of the two rooms we booked was lovely, but the other one was tiny, barely holding the two beds, although the rate was the same. The setting is gorgeous, quiet and close to everything in Palo Alto. The breakfast was skimpy, even for Continental. The restaurant next door had good food but smelled funny. The pool was nice. After... more
