Clean rooms and common areas. Quiet spacious room. Fitness center just remodeled - clean with a variety of equipment, but small. Great ice machine with water option. Delicious chocolate chip cookies from 7-9 pm. Free parking. Across the street from Stanford Shopping Center and a short walk to Stanford Medical Center. Staff very nice. Well staffed front desk for check in. Would highly recommend.

Excellent stay. The hotel is beautiful. The staff was amazing!!

The atmosphere felt comfortable and yet top notch. Little touches made you feel welcome. Sun tan lotion at the pool, canned water and TVs in the cabana. Robes and slippers to curl up in at the end of the day. Bicycles to explore the neighborhood and my daughter’s favorite, fresh chocolate chip cookies each night. Would recommend and stay again!

We had a wonderful day at the Stanford Park Hotel. It exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the live music in the evening with dinner. The pool was clean and had great seating options lots of shade in the later part of the afternoon there was a cupboard seating area with furniture and a mini fridge and towels were supplied it was quiet and peaceful The staff was friendly and not only were they helpful They were easy to get a hold of or find The hotel was clean and the rooms were beautiful. The only thing that could use improvement is the showerhead. The water pressure was very, very low, and the showerheads are outdated and loose.

Night 2 - Again another great stay! Staff was friendly and polite, including housekeeping. Amazing photos of alum in the hallways. A+ stay! Will come back.

Amazing

We held our wedding reception at the Stanford Park Hotel 36 years ago and the experience then was pretty much perfect. We decided to spend our anniversary night back there as a quick getaway. Booking the room through Expedia saved us about $25 over booking directly through the property website. Nice and easy, with no problems at check-in. The property is still incredibly beautiful, albeit a bit more mature, like us. Every staff member who took care of us was incredible. It was a memorable visit, and I hope we don’t have to wait another 36 years to go back.

We especially loved the restaurant patio, where the atmosphere, live music, and exceptional food created a truly memorable dining experience. Everything about our stay felt thoughtfully curated and relaxing. This hotel offers a one-of-a-kind experience, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a charming, elegant, and unforgettable place to stay!

The Stanford Park Hotel didn’t just provide us with a place to stay—it gave us a feeling of belonging. We truly felt at home.

Very classy institution which is next door to standord University.

The manager of this hotel, Crystal, is beyond incredible. Her staff will know you by name by the time you leave. There is no request that is too big. They respond with such grace and a helpful attitude. It is hard to find service like this at any hotel! Will definitely return.

Beautiful hotel in a very convenient location. Walking distance to the Stanford Shopping Center and close to other shops and restaurants and to Stanford. The hotel pool and spa are well maintained. There’s poolside dining available. There’s a nice coffee bar in the morning in the lobby and the best chocolate chip cookies in the evening. The reception team is welcoming and helpful. I appreciated having a decent size fridge in the room. The beds are comfortable. I’m a light sleeper so being near the train was a concern but we heard nothing. It was much quieter than the chain hotels in the area. I’d definitely recommend the hotel and I plan to stay here again.
