The Cardinal Hotel

Beautiful and charming hotel. The location was excellent and the room very clean and comfortable.

Love the location

The room was very clean and the bed comfy. Great place to stay, vibrant down town.

Great location in Palo Alto near caltrain station and many shops and restaurants. Very lively neighborhood. The hotel was pretty dated. Room size was adequate but we failed to notice that there was no airconditioning. There was a ceiling fan but during a hot spell we needed to keep the windows open to cool the room which resulted in noisy nights.

This hotel is awesome! So much charm, everyone was so kind and helpful and the breakfast was fantastic!

I stayed at this hotel previously and I decided to return due to its great location in Downtown Palo Alto which is very close to a lot of restaurants and shops. I love enjoyed the antique items spread throughout the lobby. There is not a lot that can be done about this probably, but if you get one of the first floor rooms that are facing the street it can be quite loud very early in the mornings due to deliveries and street sweeping. This time I was lucky to get a higher floor and didn't have to deal with this.

Great location! Walking distance from many restaurants.

Convenient location to everything but that also means it will have the usual downtown noise but it’s not terrible. I always book here when we have to go into the office and the staff is always friendly and the lobby is beautiful. The rooms are always clean and has everything I need. Thanks again for another great stay!

Beautiful historic building. Windows opened up directly over the plaza. Gorgeous!

Exceptional location, an amazing breakfast, and outstanding hospitality. The hotel offers great value for money, and the staff are incredibly accommodating. The only downside was that the hotel didn't have air conditioning. Most of the time it was fine, but on a few nights I did miss having it.

The "european style" shared bathrooms which is really not a european style rather an american capitalist excuse to rip off people. I wonder if the person who came up with this ever went to europe in his/her life. Too expensive for those conditions.

This hotel was well located next to Stanford, and in a decent neighborhood. However, it has no air conditioning! The room was stuffy and hot, and we were unable to open our window because the red neon light shining into our room as well as the World Cup revelers. I wanted to love this hotel but I will not be staying here again if it's summer.

Excellent service from the hotel management and front desk staff. Thanks for your considerations and kindness.

Superb

We loved this hotel! It is a beautifully maintained old hotel right in the middle of Palo Alto, walking distance to everything. The hotel rooms were comfortable and very clean, with great beds. The rooms do not have air conditioning, but they have a ceiling fan and a space fan/air conditioner that we didn’t use because we didn’t need it. We really loved this space. Every time you walk into the lobby you’re transported back in time to a world of glamour and simple grandeur. If you like modern, this hotel is not for you. But if you like comfort, location, and charm, this is the place!

The room was spotless and the staff was friendly. Lot’s of places to eat and drink within walking distance. The beds were very comfortable too.
