we had a nice time, but the hotel had more of an "inn" vibe. I expected a bit more. I guess it is more impressive during summer.

Everything was great, the room is a little bit outdated and the ac was extremely loud. The weekend we went was a little warm and the ac on was a must. The restaurant food was actually goood, breakfast is delicious and not too costly.

Outstanding
Beautiful hotel! We loved the ambiance & it was so peaceful. 10 min from Stanford, 5 min from Trader Joe's & Safeway. Love the location. Staying here again! The only con was no microwave in the room. But one call to the front desk & they sent accommodations! Excellent.
