The Cardinal Hotel

Great location and the rate is greate given the alternatives. Lack of ac. Also fot shared bathrooms and shower, I really wish they provided slippers.

Best value in Palo Alto… a must stay.

The hotel was clean and really well located in downtown.

Historic feel but clean and updated. Great location. Na

It’s very close to Stanford University. The hotel is 100 years old. There is a public restroom right next to my room. I was woken up every night when someone went to that bathroom. For a stay charged up to $450/ night, with such poor facilities, it was not worth.

Superb

Always perfect! Location couldn’t be better for downtown P.A. amenities! Rooms are always immaculate and front desk staff are friendly and helpful!

Very clean room and bathroom. Helpful staff at reception desk. Many food places nearby.

The hotel was very clean and had the old California 1950s/60s vibe. The original elevator was a plus and such a throwback, but fully functioning and added to the charm. Staff was very helpful and friendly. My only takeaway was I wish there was air conditioning. A ceiling fan just isn’t enough for me, but I do understand with the age of the building and keeping the character it’s not always possible to have installed. I highly recommend this hotel and would absolutely stay there again!

This place is like a 4-start hotel. Clean room with all modern appliances, very comfy bed. I wish there was a fridge and complimentary wifi, otherwise it's all great

All very good

Everything was great. The place is not new, so there are some things that come with age, but it was as clean as it could hope to be. Everyone we interacted with was very nice…which was just the receptionist when we checked in and when we checked out. Would stay there again. I’d advise anyone thinking about staying there to make sure they get a room with the shower and bathroom in the room. I didn’t know it could be any other way, but I think I would have been upset if I didn’t know before hand.

Staff was very helpful and great location!!

The Bluetooth radio was very low quality sound. My iPhone was louder than the volume setting on the Bluetooth speaker in the room. No AC but windows open. Nice and dark in bedroom. Was bummed breakfast didn’t come with the room since booked on hotels.com

It was fun staying in such a nice restored place. The elevator was fun, a bit of a past experience. Good food options just outside the doors. Parking was just okay.

GREAT PLACE, GOOD LOCATION, PARK THE CAR AND WALK EVERYWHERE AND ENJOY THE RESTAURANTS NEAR BY

Was clean, bright, tasteful inside. Location to Stanford is great. Lack of air conditioning was a problem in the heatwave. With windows necessarily open, nightlife on Ramona St didn’t help sleep.

Quiet and character in the middle of the town. Local restaurants, boutiques, and street fair, a brisk and pleasant 20 minute walk to the center of campus.

Place was a dive and there is no A/C.

Great location in central Palo Alto Property is old and dated. Worn furnishings, lack of a proper ensuite (basin is in main room), bathroom door that was hard to shut, lack of double glazing which let street noise in at night, and a bed mattress which rolled to the outside make this property expensive for what it is
