Exceptional
-
The hotel is gracious without being stuffy. It is like staying at a country estate not a hotel. The staff makes you feel like family and does not treat you like a mere customer. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and well appointed. The only thing I would mention is that the kitchen is a little uneven and while most dishes from appetizer to dessert are well prepared some are not. In particular the filet mignon was like a thick hockey puck. But the salad was wonderful, the drinks were top shelf and the wine www thoughtfully selected. Overall the Stanford Park is a wonderful place to stay whenever you are in the area.

Beautiful and elegant with a lovely private pool. Our only complaint is the overly expensive cocktails and food menu.
-
Wonderful quiet oasis. We had a great evening for a girls getaway. Food and drinks are fabulous, and staff was genuinely kind. Would love to come back for a longer stay.

The staff was amazing! They were friendly, personable and very customer service oriented without making it seem like it was their job to be nice. They treated us like family. I am a local who was having a staycation. I would stay there again.

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!

The room was very large with two chairs to sit in. And it had a mepresso coffee maker Nothing it was. Very inexpensive for the value..
-
My favorite hotel! So relaxing and beautiful.

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.
-
Even though that particular night I didn’t sleep much, it was the most magical experience in my life. None, the most heartwarming sanctuary one can wish for.
-
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.
