7.6/10 Good! (215 reviews)
The Fitzgerald Hotel was professionally ran by the front desk person. Breakfast was fresh and the hotel was clean. The hotel was in a safe place away from homeless and walking distance to most city attractions or public transportation.

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.
