8.6/10 Excellent! (1,351 reviews)
Pulling up for valet was difficult as there was nobody there and no clear signs. Vehicles were blocking the entrance to the hotel. Hotel was great. Room was smaller than your typical hotel, but we did not spend much time in it. Shower was odd to turn on, but they sent someone up right away. Great overall property

5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Very beautiful campus but we had to leave SF way early to avoid the rush hour traffic. When I mapped it from our hotel to Palo Alto, it was 55 min if we leave at 6 am, 1 hour 15 min at 6:30, and over 2 hours if we leave between 7:30-8. It was nice to get to Stanford at 7 am for our 9:30 am tour. We had time to visit the brand new Stanford Hospital and the health science campus. Very impressive place.
4/5 - Good

2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
Internet says to visit The Tower for a good view of the campus, however, it is very hard to access the Tower. You can't drive on campus so you have to park at the Visitors Center and pay $16 to park. The Tower is very far to walk to.
2/5 - Disappointing

Don’t leave ANYTHING in vehicle. Car broken into.
