The surroundings are beautiful, with lush gardens and flowers. There are lovely spots to sit outside and enjoy. The room was very comfortable with good pillows and very comfy bed. Loved the morning continental breakfast served in the lobby. The front desk staff were super accommodating and kind. Loved the little market on the property where you can get sandwiches and coffees. Creekside Inn was a great find and affordable. Highly recommend it!

Reading the other reviews, I thought there are things other people are not saying. It can’t be that great of a property and still be in my price range. Well, I was wrong and the other reviewers were right. Really friendly staff at check-in. A gorgeous property. Our room opened to a shared patio next to the creek with tables and chairs. Breakfast was continental fare and the staff was quick to refill everything. The room itself was clean and spacious. We definitely want to return sometime for a longer vacation.

Great location next to the fabulous Driftwood Deli Mart. Clean room, fresh smelling sheets and towels, comfort of the bed, superb pastries (few protein options-boiled eggs, tiny quiches, loved all the pastries). Superior customer service. A little pricey on the side but cleanliness will always reign in my choice of hotels and other reviews helped in my decision as well. Exceptional housekeeping here! Only choice for me in the area!

This hotel is absolutely amazing! Not only are the staff very professional and kind, but the amenities like the complimentary umbrella, robes, microwave and tv. Clean bathrooms, room and bed. Not to mention complimentary breakfast in the morning, the landscaping and the creek bridge. Prices are pretty good too. I really enjoyed my stay!

Great location, spacious room, and wonderful service. The hotel is very conveniently located for visiting Stanford University and attending tech events around Silicon Valley. Our room was quite large, and the view was beautiful. A special thank-you to the gentleman at the front desk (I unfortunately didn't get his name). My son arrived late at night, and he was incredibly kind and helpful in making sure everything went smoothly. We really appreciated his warm welcome and assistance. We had a great stay and would happily stay here again!

This is my favorite place to stay when I am in the area, which I am 1-2 times per year. The property is beyond beautiful, the rooms are always very clean, it's conveniently located, and the staff is always so nice. I highly recommend this property for your next stay.

This hotel was a pleasant stay. The ambiance on the outside was so peaceful and serene. The staff were phenomenal! The actual room was a little small and older but still very comfortable. My husband sleep like a baby in the bed. I would give it 4.5 stars out of 5 and would definitely stay again when in the area.

If you want a comfortable, quiet, clean and spacious room then look no further. Scoring bonus points were the friendly staff, woodsy setting and a balcony. If I need a room anywhere near Palo Alto again, I will be staying here.
