    Great place for a staycation. Having the restaurant onsite means you don’t have to leave the property and you can really pretend that you are ‘away’, not in the middle of Silicon Valley. Warm pool, good food and nice rooms.

    Loud neighbors. Asked for new room. Charged me $40 more for new room. That was louder.

    Dinah's garden Inn is an oasis that is pet friendly, quite, and relaxing

    I was in town for business and brought my 17-year-old niece.The property is beautiful. Our room was so cute. And filled with amenities that were useful. Restaurant food was awesome. Staff were helpful and nice. I would definitely stay here again. I might just go down for a leisure weekend and stay.!!

    My 2 girlfriends and I loved our suite and patio. We loved the marble tiled floor. It felt so clean. We had ample room for 3 o n our kind bed suite. Staff brought a roll away bed. Restaurant and bar was wonderful. Sweet attentive staff. We’d return.

    This was a lovely hotel and a unique experience. We were in town for a family event and I needed a pool! They have a heated, salt water? pool as well as a restaurant with poolside dining and you can enjoy snacks and drinks by the pool. The hotel is decorated with a Thailand/Polynesian motif and two large elephants greet you at the door! The desk staff were very nice and welcoming. There is a koi pond, more like a river, that runs through the property. We enjoyed dinner by the pool and didn’t have to drive anywhere which made it more relaxing. All in all, I really needed that mini-vacation and look forward to the next time we can stay there!

    Always enjoy staying here.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The property is conveniently located and the grounds are wonderfully maintained. Dining poolside is great!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This hotel is very nice! I love the atmosphere but we were kind of hesitant to go to the pool. Because people were eating food very close to the pool…

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Its a calming and restful place. Beautiful flowers and koi ponds.The room has musty smell but clean and air-conditioning works great. Restaurant is great- good food and priced right.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    However, we were pleasantly surprised to find the rooms in very good condition with unblemished paint, lovely tile on the floors and shower in the bath and vanity areas, clean and fresh smelling elevators and corridors and very quiet rooms. The pool area was great with a perfectly heated saltwater pool, great LED lights at night and comfortable lounges, tables and chairs. The bar and restaurant area was conveniently located just a few steps away. The tropical ambience, blooming plants and koi pools with ducks was an added highlight. Our family enjoyed our stay and if we were to go back to Palo Alto would book again.

    It was wonderful. A diamond amidst all the chaos.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Loved the beautiful gardens & the yummy food at their restaurant.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    I have named this the tiki bar hotel, I have no idea why they do not have a tiki bar, but that’s exactly what they should have. It’s a fun place to stay if you’re going to a concert there or cancer treatment or whatever you’re doing in the area this is a fun place. They have baby ducks and a million massive Koi fish and it’s got style. Def will be back!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Clean and spacious was a magical experience, beautiful hidden gym

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room is small. It is said for 4 people but the sofa bed can only hold one small person. The sofa sheets was dirty and has a small hole.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    outstanding

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    So professional yet personal and inviting

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great location, clean rooms, good pool.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nice space overall, but room was weirdly humid and not very well lit. And all the coffee in the room was decaf, so we didn’t have coffee or complimentary breakfast.
