Very comfortable, friendly, and convenient for any visit, especially to Stanford University or the Stanford Hospital. One of a kind! Not a chain....surrounded by well cared for gardens, nicely designed lagoon, and sculptures from around the world.

Room tip: 3rd floor 600 section
Date of stay: December 2017
Trip type: Travelled solo

Thank you so much Philip for the five star review of your recent stay with us at Dinah's Garden Hotel. We are located just four miles away from Stanford and quite often have people stay with us that are visiting the hospital or the university. We are glad to hear how much you enjoyed the property and hope that you will visit us again soon.
Best Regards,

This was our second stay at Dinah's Garden Hotel and will not be the last.

The staff is attentive, friendly and professional. The room wonderful.

But most astonishing is the rambling koi pond and gardens with full vibrant color even in December. The sound of soft waterfalls and the sheer peace and quiet while sitting on our patio at water's edge cannot be beat.

Dinah's Garden Hotel is a unique hotel in the middle of many standard corporate hotel choices. It is not to be missed. An outstanding and memorable experience we already look forward to repeating - a third time.

Room tip: Get a room with a nice water view.

Many thanks Anne for the five star review of your second stay with us at Dinah's Garden Hotel. We're happy to hear how much you enjoyed the staff, your room, and our property. We do pride ourselves in our uniqueness that we, too, feel separates us from most of the corporate hotels in the area.

My husband and I just stayed at Dinah’s Garden Inn while celebrating Christmas with our son and family that live nearby. It was a great experience. The rooms are large and tastefully decorated. The bathrooms good size too. The hotel itself is much larger than you might think upon checking in at the front lobby. It consists of several buildings all with outside access to the individual rooms. What struck us was how quiet it was . We were in one of the back buildings and couldn’t here any traffic. The gardens and foliage also must play apart in the peace that one feels here. In addition the restaurant on site is really good. Attentive servers especially Viviana . And the breakfasts are so good. This will be our new “go to” place when we return to visit our son .

Thank you so much for the kind words and five star review of your stay with us at Dinah's Garden Hotel. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your room and the grounds of the property. We do pride ourselves in keeping the property as quiet as possible and, as our rooms are removed from busy El Camino Real, we rarely have noise complaints on the property. We are also glad to hear that you were able to take advantage of our wonderful Poolside Restaurant. I'll make sure to pass your compliments on to Viviana. We hope to see you again soon when you next plan to visit your family.
Best Wishes,

Had a morning doctors appointment in Redwood City. Took El Camino Real vs 101 as directed by google and iphone. That route (ECR) would be my choice, (9:30 am). I put "sleep quality" at "average" because the people in the room above were noisy. The bed and room were great.
