Dinah's claims to be a 31/2 star resort type hotel complete with beautiful gardens and great pool. The reality is that this place isn't worth $90 a night let alone the $169 they have the audacity to charge during the week. The rooms are tiny and smell musty.. a mix of old coffee and dirty carpet. To make matters worse... more

I don't understand how some people can rate this place so highly. Maybe there is a secret section of it that is kept away from normal travellers like me, or maybe those reviews are not real? I stayed at the hotel for an extended weekend. The room was clean, but not modern. The TV was an old 90s style with... more

Just spent 7 days there. Was very hesitant because of some bad reviews. Was pleasantly surprised! Staff was very helpful and courteous. Our room was wonderful - king bed, kitchen sink and refrig. dining table, couch, etc. The gardens and ground were beautiful and well kept. Poolside resturant service was a little slow but got better and the food was... more

I was so excited to stay here- the pics look amazing and it seemed to offer all of what the bigger executive hotels were offering. However Dinah's is deceptive... and I wish i would have stayed somewhere else. We are local and were staying here for the weekend to relax and have a bit of a working weekend. The garden... more

We had a wonderful, beautiful room where we felt at home. We very much recommend staying in the quiet, newly upgraded executive style rooms in the 800 building. (However, the older rooms in the 600 building are not so special.) Samir, the manager on duty, went out of his way to make sure that we were completely satisfied and happy... more

we've contentedly stayed at Dinah's Garden Hotel many times in the past, mainly due to the blissful mature tropical garden environment, the quiet, and privacy of the rooms on the lagoon. It *used * to be so peaceful and lovely. So we were surprised to check into a lagoon room, 2 days ago, to discover that All landscaping (excepting a... more

We stay in the Palo Alto area frequently because our children are Stanford students, but this was our first time at Dinah's as we got a very good internet rate on a room. It is not a hotel but rather a two-story motel off El Camino (behind and on the same grounds with Trader Vic's restaurant) with lovely water features... more

Stayed with my wife and two teenage sons for 3 nights (two separate rooms). Beautiful hotel--much nicer than you would expect coming off the busy El Camino Real. Pool is heated and the breakfast at the poolside restaurant was excellent. Easy 30-40 minute drive from the airport. Not cheap, but there online you got an upgrade to the deluxe room... more

I stay at dianhs for the 1st time on june 7, 2008. I hade no idea this hotel was behind trader vics. I was going to get a regular room and there was a tall guy there that took me on a tour. I think he was from the salesman, but i did not get his name. I thought that... more
