Creekside Inn

My stay at Creekside was great! Everyone was extremely helpful, the rooms were clean and seemed newly renovated and the grounds were beautiful. Over the five years that my daughter was at Stanford, I wish I had found Creekside earlier.

Helpful staff, great location for Stanford.

Clean rooms and convenient location for Stanford activities

Perfect location in Palo Alto, and great value.

Bad

Beautiful garden. Great location with a terrific deli next door and a high end Brazilian restaurant on premises. Friendly helpful staff. Bathroom in the single King room was a bit tight - much larger in the double Queens.

The property on a large ground with garden, facilities are well-kept , and has water dispenser and laundry machines. Nothing

We have stayed here around 20 times and love its proximity to Stanford University. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The superior king rooms and suites are spacious with nice balcony views. Jonathan at the front desk has the warmest personality! Housekeeping does a nice, consistent job.

We loved our stay. Everyone was so helpful and friendly! The beds and A/C were fabulous. We also enjoyed the breakfast! We’d gladly return again!

The WiFi was not working on the last day of our stay and unfortunately the staff did not give the residents a heads up that they were changing their WiFi system that day. My work meetings got affected terribly. If I had known about this, I would have taken my meetings at Starbucks..

This property seemed homey and very comfortable. Beautiful landscaping, plenty of parking, EV chargers, restaurant on-site, all in good location, with quiet, clean rooms, patios, and windows that open to let in fresh air.

Would stay there again.

The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are very clean. I repeatedly got conflicting answers on whether or not they had a discount for people using Stanford Medical Center. Just like last year, I had to go to Stanford several times this year. I've always stayed at the Creekside Inn for each of my appointments at Stanford. The discounts they offered last year were very helpful considering my high medical bills and having to come from out of state. However, each time I called this year to make a reservation I was told they no longer have a discount for people needing to go to Stanford. I like the hotel and feel safe there, so I stayed there anyway but I booked online instead to help with the cost. When I checked in at the front desk this last time, I was told they DID have a discount for Stanford but it didn't apply to me because I didn't book with them directly. One woman told me the discount started back in January, and then a gentleman told me it started about a month before I checked in. Either way, they wouldn't give me the discount. It was frustrating and much more expensive this year. Thankfully I'm done with Stanford and the need to return to Palo Alto.

Excellent staff, filtered water The on site grocery cafe was very convenient, closed a bit early but nice staff and good food A little far from where I needed to be

Simple but ok for me There was a charge extra for Amenities on the bill.

Our room was on the street side and a bit noisy. Choose a room further back in the complex away from the office, market and roads.

The grounds are well kept with beautiful plantings and garden seating areas.. Breakfast included sweet and savory pastries, cereals, fruit and coffee. Staff greeted us with a warm welcome.

Nice quiet hotel, staff was pleasant.

They have improve their breakfast, which was appreciated by adding new items. Rooms remodel with half glass shower wall and no door, not so great. shower mat to small almost slipped in shower.

Exceeded all expectations. This place was an oasis and the staff were all amazing. Great vibe!

I visited the Creekside Inn as a solo traveler. As a woman, it's always scary to go to new places alone, but I felt very comfortable in my room. The staff were very nice when I checked in and checked out, and I would definitely recommend choosing this location. There were plenty of places to park around my room and it was easy to navigate. As for breakfast, I only went on my last day but if you just need a quick bite to eat, they certainly have some nice options. Mini cereals, apples, bananas, coffee/tea, and pastries. It's not a huge assortment with all the fixings but I didn't see that as an issue! The scenery was beautiful! It's called Creekside for a reason! I would definitely choose this place again!

Quiet peaceful Unexpected facilities use charge

Cheaper, great staff, good pool. I’m expected better breakfast, but it was fine

Check in easy, room nice, grounds nicely kept, breakfast great..

Very clean room…comfy bed..great for a couples kids free getaway…

For $500 a midweek night. I expected, well...more. Front desk staff was very kind and welcoming, but the property itself is old, not updated, and my room was dark and depressing. Only 2 lightbulbs on the ceiling which were that terrible "cool" white. It gave off "interrogation room." The sink was clogged and backed up with brown water with bits of whiskers and dirt...oh, and there was nearly zero water pressure. The robes were awful...scratchy, hard, and uncomfortable. Needless to say, again, I expected more. I'm honestly giving it three stars due to the staff.

The Creekside Inn occupies a bucolic setting in the heart of Silicon Valley. It’s got a full-service Brazilian steakhouse on the premises, as well as Palo Alto’s favorite take-out sandwich place, with several other restaurants within walking distance. We found to rate very reasonable for a spacious recently remodeled Junior Suite in the Tower Building overlooking the pool. No complaints!

Nice selection of morning items. Ideal location for our stay. Liked the deli shop. Nice helpful staff. Disappointed the creek had no water. Somehow we imagined the buildings to be differently from the pics on the Creekside site.

The Creekside Inn is ideally located, within a 15-minute walk of the California Avenue Caltrain Station and a 10-minute drive from downtown Palo Alto. The atmosphere is warm and charming, with a lovely fountain and seasonal flowers, and the staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming. It was our second stay here, and it certainly won’t be our last!

Rooms are spacious and clean.

Thin walls couldn't sleep

Staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. Would totally recommend booking this place when visiting the area. I will book again when I come back. Thank you very much!!!

Friendly courteous staff and easy check in. Clean room and very comfy bed and fluffy pillows. The pool looked refreshing but didn’t go in. Continental breakfast was great and coffee was actually delicious. Free parking. Independent Deli on premises shared site and was very busy from non guests as well.

Great to have continental bkfast and water refill area with parking available;

Front staff were all friendly and personal. Good value and conveniently located near Stanford University and Stadium.

we were so delighted with our stay, the staff were sooooooo friendly and attentive.. the lobby always smelled so fresh.. The room was spacious and comfy, It was really a great stay for us!

The scenery was very beautiful green and peaceful The included breakfast that’s staying on the list is actually some cut up fruits, pastries, and free coffee or tea. So I had to go look for a place off the property to get an actual meal

It was convenient for attending anything concert at Stanford Stadium. We actually walked back to the hotel afterwards to avoid traffic. For an older hotel, it was nice enough. Free parking is a plus.

A stay surrounded by calm. My room smelled musty at the beginning but everything else made up for it. Very enjoyable stay.

Concert weekend. Veeeerrrry expensive, but it was clean, friendly annd some free BFast items in the AM.

Everything was very clean and well kept. Loved the water bottle refill station. Hotel location was great for the things I was doing in the area. Balcony was spacious, clean and had a great view. Also loved the little deli/market next door. Zero complaints! I wish the bathroom was a bit bigger and the shower had better water pressure but it wouldn't prevent me from staying there again.

This is a lovely little hotel. It is an older property, but the room was spacious, very clean and well maintained. The towels were fluffy, the rain shower head had great pressure and hot water always available. The continental breakfast was simple. The market onsite had great sandwiches and Yatori was right across the street. Amazing pastries and matcha lattes. The grounds at the hotel were immaculately landscaped. It was a very relaxing place to stay.

Clean The room was smaller than I expected.

Great location! I loved how it was surrounded by so much foliage. Beautiful! I enjoyed the market right next to it. Very convenient for snacks, sandwiches, & coffee drinks. They have some breakfast food available in the lobby in the morning, and that was a nice perk. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable. I enjoyed that our room had its own little patio out front.

Nice, quiet, friendly place

everything was excellent

Clean room.

enjoyed our stay, very relaxing property and quiet. the room way clean and roomy. a small market/deli was in walk distance as well as a few other restaurants. also liked sitting on patio. only con was squeaky floors from the room above.

The room was nicely decorated. Loved the refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, hair dryer, ironing board, iron, space, drawers for storage, & balcony. Give at least until 12 for check out.

Love the calm and sensory explosion with the serene surroundings. nearby Bol park and gardens in the adjacent neighborhood makes for a perfect hotel/inn stay and a bit of outdoors in between business conferences.

Very nice place. Beautiful grounds and atmosphere

felt safe

Clean, comfy bed, great water pressure, convenient parking, quiet, easy simple breakfast, nice staff

Beautiful landscaping, including lots of flowering jasmine and the creek complete with footbridge and ducks, helps create a restful, quiet environment. Parking is convenient. Continental breakfast included fresh bakery items and fruit. We heartily recommend Creekside Inn!

Charming quaint little resort in the middle of town! Couln't have asked for a more perfect spot!

We did not get to see most of it because we were busy with our granddaughter at Stanford softball. I wish we had more time to have been at the Inn. It had very pretty landscaping. We didn’t have the time to enjoy it. The restaurant there was very nice. Great food! Would have been nice to know there was not an elevator. My only complaint.

absolutely loved staying at this inn! such a cute place. very close to stanford. staff are 10/10. loved seeing all the birds and ducks by the creek . we especially loved sipping our offer on the patio in the mornings.

Thank you.

The amenities charge is a rip off

Didnt stay for breakfast. The toilet was very hard to sit down on. Lower back issues and both knees are bad. To low to floor. The shower head coming from the ceiling was hard to fully rinse off. The next door or above us, was up all night talking loud and had the TV on. I only got 4 hours of sleep. My son also was awaken. No microwave

The AC was very noisy and the walls were porous. Noise travels easily from the outside.

Very nice property that includes trees, a stream, a fountain. Very restful. Cost is becoming prohibitive depending on occupancy. We stayed there one night. Asked about staying another night and the price of the second night was double. (Not a weekend. Just a regular Thursday night)

Wish breakfast had more protein options and less sugary/carb options

The pool is amazing, parking is easy, it's the best spot to stay if you have medical care scheduled at Stanford. Wish breakfast had more protein options and less sugary/carb options

Parking was easy, staff on front desk was very helpfull and friendly. Laundry available.

Wall and floor thin, not sound proof

Only 2 washers and 2 dryers. Limited continental breakfast, perfumed hallway! But it was clean and comfortable room.

Everything was great. Each time I need to come to Stanford Hospital now, I will stay at Creekside Inn. Thanks to all those who helped me navigate the Uber app!

Look, this is a motel, not the Ritz. But it's a very nice motel, clean, well arranged and efficient. But what sets it apart are lovely grounds, landscaped around a creek that flows through the property. This will make no difference to you if you are a business traveller rushing to meetings (although it does work for those too), but if you have the time to stay and enjoy the lovely gardens it's great value.

People over head heavy walking late into the night and early morning

People over head heavy walking late into the night and early morning

Hotel was well located and nicely updated for an older hotel. Front office Staff was not very helpful or cooperative when asked for room change or late check out. Also, on first morning at noon, we had note under door saying we were too late for Maid service. Note that specific maid service timing was not posted anywhere in room. But when we talked directly to maid it was no problem & her service was excellent.

Big size room with kitchen. Courteous staff. Good location. Very poor amenities. No complimentary water bottles provided. And you are charged for every bottle you take from reception. The room carpet smells. No auto ventilation. There is a wall mounted aircon which makes noise like a rail engine. Very difficult to sleep with. Balconies are not cleaned regularly. Even room is cleaned properly. I had breakfast in morning and came back in evening to see all the breakfast utensils as is. No water available in all buildings. And you are expected to walk to reception every time you need water. Lot of issues. Not going to return

We loved our stay...friendly, beautiful, convenient, affordable (especially considering the other higher prices for rooms in the area) and an amazing dinner restaraunt right there!

Very good

The only downside is in the H bldg, the rooms are noisy. We could hear the people upstairs every step in their room. Next door in the morning you can hear the housekeeping in the rooms next to you. Enough noise to wake me at times. All in all, I will stay again. Just in a different room this time.

clean and quiet. filtered water free vending surprisingly good!

Wifi included. I loved that.

Our room was spacious, clean, and the extras were great. We were given a basket of snacks and a small container of wine. The large sliding doors open to a patio with chairs and a table overlooking walking paths along the creek with trees and many beautiful azaleas. The bed was very comfortable. I would say this is our favorite hotel we have stayed in for a while now. We will be returning to the area in two weeks and will be fortunately staying there again. I highly recommend.

No elevator

This is a well-run, clean motel at a relatively decent price for the area. My room was quiet and I slept well. The bed was comfortable. There’s a great deli on the property, and the breakfast was fine. I booked a room with a balcony, but the balcony overlooked a parking lot. If I had known, I probably wouldn’t have paid extra for that option. Some of the hallways also had a really strong perfume smell, but the room was fine.

A very pleasant stay that I would repeat!

Reading the other reviews, i thought there has to be something people aren't saying. It can't be that great of a property & still be in my price range. Well i was wrong & the other reviewers were right. Really friendly staff at check in. A gorgeous property. Our room opened out to a small shared patio next to the creek, with a table & chairs. Breakfast was continental fare & the staff was quick to refill everything. The room itself was clean & spacious. We definitely want to return some time for a longer vacation.

I would have liked a few more things for breakfast but overall still very good

I called the en on Friday and told them I would not be checking in until Saturday and not to cancel my reservation. I also requested a bath tub. Got there late Saturday. Finally got checked in after they had to reinstate my reservation because they canceled it. Got to room no tub. Went back to lobby got new room. Tub leaked. A tub is a deal breaker. Also while I was there they sent a man to a room that was already occupied and he came back in to get a room.

What a fabulous Palo Alto legacy! Beautiful California landscaping. Great front desk staff, property staff. The deli has good coffee and sandwiches. Perfect location for anything at Frost amphitheater or Shoreline.

The breakfast menu was the best part of this stay. Fresh pastries, good coffee, yogurt, eggs all available to take out, or sit out on the patio in nice weather. BE AWARE of fine print: they charge $17.50 per night for amenities (e.g., pool & parking) whether you use them or not. I was unhappy to find this out at check-in.

Nice, quiet, clean place. I like that rooms have balconies/patios.

Always love staying here. We come for medical appointments and it is the most comfortable and relaxing place we’ve found to stay.

Awful staff, especially with some man who is half Asian who claims to be supervisor there!!! He over charged us twice and he could not admit his mistake instead he claimed that is there policy which speaking to other employees that is NOT accurate at all!!!! I’ve stayed there over 6 years on business and after this incident I will no longer stay at this property! Management did nothing to apologize at all either. HORRIBLE F STAFF

Ice quiet property with outstanding staff

Room was clean and had plenty of room which made things comfortable. The grounds were kept up very well as grounds keepers were seen actively. Parking spots are a little tight but plenty of spots. Breakfast is continental style which I wish had more options.

The rooms felt a bit outdated, and the breakfast selection was somewhat limited.

Great value for the money. Beautiful grounds!

:)

It was quietly and calmly surrounding area & I was glad to stay.

Traveled for an unexpected stay due to a family members illness. I called ahead to let staff know I'd be checking in late, and they were present and friendly, for which I was grateful. The room was clean and quiet, and they cleaned the room the following days without having to request it. As a weary traveler, it was just what I needed. It is a charming hotel with kind staff. Highly recommend it. Save the money from some of the more overpriced hotels and stay here.

It was clean, quaint, quiet, unique and pretty

Nice room with comfy bed and pillows. The grounds are beautiful with lush greenery and flowers, and lots of little places to walk or sit. The breakfast in the lobby each morning was very good, with excellent coffee served. I really enjoyed the purified water dispenser to fill my bottle, and the EV chargers are a real bonus too. The little Market on site makes delicious sandwiches. The hotel staff were all very kind and attentive. It was a fabulous stay.

Everyone was really friendly

Friendly staff. Clean rooms and right next to an excellent Deli/Market. Surrounded with great scenery.

Courteous staff - Spacious property and suite - Quiet neighborhood - Accessible

very clean, beautiful grounds

We stay here fairly often. Nice place and reasonably priced

We had a comfortable room with plenty of space. We especially liked the walk-in shower. There was a table with two chairs and another padded chair. There was a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Breakfast was a selection of pastries, muffins, fruit, cereals and coffee and juice. No hot meal was offered. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel.

Clean & safe

It was a little tight getting around in the unit.

I was in town for the weekend for a conference at Stanford University. I liked Creekside Inn because it was clean, nice, affordable with close proximity to the campus and nearby amenities.

We enjoyed are stay, and would love to stay again

The room was great! Very peaceful surroundings, and beautiful grounds. Enjoyed our time here, the breakfast wasn’t what I expected all they offered was pastries and some instant oatmeal. Other than that it was a wonderful stay with very comfy beds.

Nice rooms, Good staff. Great stay

Big mosquito eaters kept trying to get into the room when we wanted to go out into the balcony.

I was very comfortable 1 there is a Good sandwich sleap onsite I recommend

The room was clean. Check-in staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. The Driftwood Deli on property is delicious ! Sandwiches were so fresh and so good! A bit disappointed in the complimentary breakfast. Not much available and pastries were dry; a microwave would be nice to reheat them in lobby.

I've stayed at this property off and on for over 40 years. They've renovated rooms, kept the pool and grounds nice, good continental breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. Nice to see it's still a great place to stay

No elevator makes it a challenge when you’re traveling with multiple suitcases.

Very peaceful, nice staff. Loved it

The bed was awful couldn’t sleep on it. It was almost like part of the bed frame was broken.

I only needed a place to sleep before returning to the hospital the next morning, so I don't have any comments on the gym/pool or other extras. For my room though, it was clean, the bed was soft but comfortable. The bathroom was nicely updated with good water pressure, good shower head and hot water. The creekside vibe was great with beautiful garden surroundings. And gratefully very quiet even on a Friday night.

It’s a beautiful, garden-like hotel. The staff were very friendly, and check-in and check-out were both quick and easy. My room had a patio where I could sit and relax, which I really enjoyed. They also offer a limited number of free EV charging spots, which is a nice bonus for electric vehicle drivers.

Creekside is a great stay in the heart of Palo Alto. The room was simple, spacious and clean, the staff was friendly and efficient, and the parking plentiful.

The room was very clean an met our needs.

The continental breakfast has small, pick-up-on-the-way-out offerings and with the deli present with a full menu that you can order ahead for, it felt underwhelming.

Need to keep non-residents off area. Person relieving himself next to our car/parking area. Otherwise, my entire family and I are recurrent visitors and are always pleased with staff and rooms. Thank you.

Was a short stay but the room was very clean and up to date! Beds are so comfortable!

Check in person very accommodating.

Clean, compact room and nice grounds, a calm oasis away from the hustle and bustle.

Clean, well stocked, great beds, nice patios, quiet, deli out front, tvs were hard to figure out?

Great amenities, good value, convenient location for Stanford

Room interior felt more like a motel than a hotel. No art, felt disappointing upon entering. But there was plenty of parking, it was comfortable, location was near where we wanted to be. Breakfast was just pastries, hard boiled eggs, coffee, box of cereal. Nothing "hot", other than the coffee. So while technically true that they breakfast was included, i'd say more 'continental breakfast'. Nowhere to sit and eat either.

The property is very clean and inviting. The staff was very helpful and the free bottle of wine at check in was exactly what I needed after a long day of meetings and travel. The bed was really comfy and the room was very clean! It felt almost like home.

Staff was nice. Overall, we paid too much for this place.

great

Clean and comfortable room, conveniently located to Stanford Medical Center. Will stay again.

Great motel style accommodation, with kind staff. Breakfast is limited to grab-and-go items (not hot food, except oatmeal with hot water) but was a nice way to start the day. The pool is heated and well maintained, very clean. The property is quiet. The convenience store on the property with the deli was great- huge menu of sandwiches (including hot breakfast sandwiches) and other snacks. The room was spacious and clean, though a bit old so don’t expect a place that’s new. We enjoyed our stay and the price was right for the area!

Clean rooms and Friendly staff… will book again!

Yes.

Nice hotel with a good location

Everything about this stay was impressive! We loved the early check in, lovely staff, scenery, on site famous deli and more! We definitely want to visit Palo Alto again and we will definitely stay at the Creekside Inn again.

The whole place was very neat and clean but our room was spotless - I loved the large bathtub that was ideal for soaking - The towels were exceptional and even bathrobes were provided - The king size bed was very comfortable and there was an extra blanket in the closet - We had a mini suite and I would recommend it for the slight prince increase

Amazing!

Place felt like a resort. Rooms are uodated, clean and sheets and pillows are just superb! Lobby is nice. Great atmophere overall. Loved our stay

Good cute place to stay

Well kept grounds.

Cost room

Nice room, good amenities.

Extremely clean and in good condition. Modest lodging but with an eye towards upscale details and service, including complementary Tesla charging stations and daily maid service. Nice shower, lots of storage including an actual clothes closet, safe and robes. Quiet. I’d stay there again without hesitation.

Opened the window for fresh air. Low maintenance breakfast; no eggs, meat. Deli food, on premises. location convenient.

Nice place at a great price and was able to park right next to my room. The creek and grounds are a welcome change to a high rise hotel. Very quiet and peaceful.

I originally started to book directly with Creekside but they wanted to charge me for parking so I disengaged and booked with Hotels.com. The booking stated all the fees were paid and there would be no additional fees. When I arrived they charged me an additional $17.50 to use the pool, in early January mind you. When I told them Hotels.com said all the fees were paid they it was policy. The staff was neither friendly or helpful. The next morning I was awakened by a loud knock on the door at 8:15. It seems the maid wanted to clean the rooms already as she was knocking on several doors. Continental breakfast was sub par. All I really wanted was orange juice but there was neither OJ or milk. For a corporation trying to get every dime out of their customers this seemed very unprofessional.

This place is so beautiful and peaceful. Such a nice place to stay. Will stay here again.

Clean room and friendly service !

Lovely little inn. Peaceful atmosphere. Clean comfortable room.

Great room clean staff courteous thanks will be back

Walls were paper thin, heard talking from next room over and walking from room above.

Clean quiet room. Ari (?) at check in was friendly and helpful. Comfy bed, big shower. Would definitely stay again.

The room was spacious and worked for our family. The pool is heated but still too cold for a winter time swim without a jacuzzi or way to warm up, also no towels were available at the pool which made for an extra cold walk back to our room. Breakfast was VERY minimal and the coffee was gross. Thankfully the room had a microwave and fridge so we grabbed our own food items for breakfasts. The location was very nice and worked well for our visit to Sam Fran and Stanford Children’s Hospital. Overall we would stay here again but would bring our own breakfast and big pool towels.

Staff was very nice. Room was clean and quiet.

Even the hallways smelled clean. Everyone was friendly. Super quiet and convenient! Didn’t get a bottle of wine I guess I was supposed to get but I didn’t ask…room was great!

It is an oasis tucked away from the El Camino but very special and cozy.

We were welcomed with a bottle of wine from Expedia, which was very nice. The room is spacious for two. Parking is no issue and easy to find. The hotel provides complementary onsite charging for Tesla vehicles, but the two charging stations can be occupied overnight. Breakfast is also complementary with limited options. Overall, it was a nice stay.

Breakfast needed more variety it wasn't that good

Great value. Great staff

Great room and fairly large. Clean and comfortable.

The rooms are nice, beds are cozy. The amenities in the room are so convenient and the staff is accommodating and helpful. It was a rough week for me and I was grateful for the easy check in for a last minute booking. I got to stay in the same room and come back to my things in the same room.

Very nice hotel. It is everything we need in a hotel. Very clean and the staff is wonderful. The location is also great

Old room but clean. Friendly at check in.

Staff is great, bed is comfortable, room is clean and I loved the bottle of wine!

the staff were extremely friendly, especially the front desk supervisor, Mr. Aris Mendoza, who helped me overcome many difficulties. Thank you very much!

I love the store/ deli adjacent to Creekside. Within walking distance is a fun & delicious donut shop, a coffee shop & a steakhouse as well as Chinese & Mexican restauranrestaurantrestaurant

A lovely spot in Palo Alto - good value and location. Will stay there again!

Great place

The room was spotless, the staff was great!

We couldn’t try the breakfast but over all vibe of the place and room was pretty good. The only thing which was missing was the toothpaste and the shower gel was finished and they didn’t refill it.

Clean room, courteous staff.

Clean large room heated pool nice staff

Almost. Hair on the faucet and one stinky towel that should have been noticed

Room was spotless and staff was very friendly and welcoming

What a great room. Larger than a studio I used to live in the bed was extremely comfy, and the pillows were great.

Very nice staff

Great and quiet hotel with a neat little market in the building. Only dig is the market doesn't open early enough for you to use the coffee bar and grab some breakfast if you're a business traveler.

Excellent beautiful and clean and safe wonderful location.

Wonderful accommodate

The room was clean. Housekeeping was excellent. The woman at the counter when I checked in was friendly and efficient. Parking was convenient with no additional fee. The breakfast was poor: cold cereals in cardboard boxes, pastries, yogurts, apple and orange juice (but ran out of OJ on the second day). No hot food. No place to sit down. I wanted an extra hour on Sunday morning -- not an unusual request -- but was told that was not possible because so many people were checking out then. It was the weekend of the Stanford-Cal football game. With so many people checking out, the desk could have arranged for my room to be among the last cleaned, thus giving me the extra hour. Finally, there was an additional $17.50 per day, per room for "amenity fee." I had stayed there before. and I and noted no additional amenities. I reserved two rooms. That meant $70 more for nothing and that fee was exorbitant.

very nice and clean staff welcome their guests Excellent service.

Room was okay. Surroundings are very green and nice.

This hotel's breakfast is terrible. It does not provide eggs. There is no waffle machine so we cannot make waffles. Everything is cold. Also, there is no table, no chair, no place to sit to have a breakfast. I would suggest Creekside Inn just do not provide breakfast. So the customers can decide whether to book this hotel. If hotel website says that it provides breakfast, but with such low quality, it is not good for the hotel since it makes this hotel like a motel.

Perfect for the family! Thank you! Clean room, nicely landscaped property!

They forgot to give me my VIP bottle of wine at check in.

Rooms were nice clean and comfortable

This place is so cute! Comfortable beds. Would stay here again

The room was huge and comfortable. I loved the balcony.

Great room, if you are watching a football game at Stanford doesn’t get much better!

Clean room. Attractive room. Great comfortable bed, the most plush towels, good hanging closet and ample storage cabinet.

Great experience.

Friendly staff, large room, property is pretty with nice trees, close to Stanford.

Clean room, staff was good, the breakfast was very limited to only a few items

We enjoyed staying there. It was close to the hospital we needed to go to and there is a great deli right next to the hotel.

Professional friendly staff, delightful room...love the adjacent patio

Staff was great! A little dated, but clean and nice setting. You'd never know you were in the middle of Palo Alto. Perfect for Stanford games.

Nice and easy to check in

Second time here. Perfect location, clean and comfortable l. Nice staff :-)

It's nestled in

Beautiful grounds and friendly efficient staff.

Highly recommended.

Beautiful room and really sweet staff

Nice courtyard, quiet, no fuss, large room.

All the staff were very kind and sweet

Awesome Shower!

Had no complaints. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and close dinning available. Have stayed multiple times and have no bad experiences. Highly recommend.

Nice hotel! Would come back again

Showers were awesome and the staff was very friendly.

It was a nice place but our room has a musty smell when we first came … but they fixed it right away. Don’t do much on the amenities as it was raining most of the time and we usually get back to the Inn by night time. Otherwise it was a great place.i have 4 stars because it was too far from the SFO airport which I didn’t realize it ( it was my fault).

Clean. A bit noisy but otherwise fine.

Great location, mostly quiet, clean, generous space. Met our needs well.

My husband was surprised how wonderful this place and excellent customer service. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Breakfast is basic, not much choice and no hot food available besides coffee.

Clean room and friendly staff.

Great staff

The rooms were very nice. The staff was nice as well. We had a great visit.

The room 111 assigned to us: when attempting to key in the room was occupied. Then room 342 given to us smelled of smoke. Now in room 124 sharing a small queen bed with my son who requires his own bed The front desk said they were sold out and if it wasn’t late I would have left and asked for a refund this place is not wonderful as the reviews state, it’s really run down and like a motel Do not stay here

Comfortable and quiet - great balcony too; very friendly staff

I had searched for free parking when we booked the room, at check in we were told that we would be charged $17 for their “amenities” which was parking, pool, and workout room. We were given a bottle of wine at check in, I would have rather not paid for the amenities. Room was small as was the bathroom area, but the room was very clean.

THE ROOM WAS VERY CLEAN. THE STAFF WAS VERY KIND AND COURTEOUS!! WILL DEFINITELY BE STAYING HERE AGAIN!!

Clean room, convenient close to restaurants.

Friendly staff and clean room

It’s in a great area if I go up there, in the future I would actually stay again

A great value and a really wonderful staff. Rooms are very clean and very well maintained. My favorite place to stay in Palo Alto.

A nice place, with nice people and nice accommodations. However, the continental breakfast provides no ability to take a 2nd cup of coffee and a second danish back to the room for your travel mate. They will not provide a tray or a coffee holder or a box. So if you want coffee, you have to go get it. Seems strange.

Conveniently located, clean, friendly

I absolutely loved our stay at Creekside Inn! Everything was so nice and so clean. All of the staff were so helpful and wonderful. They actually make you feel at home. The property is beautiful, and very conveniently located.

Hidden gem, beautiful grounds, attentative and welcoming staff.....amazing food options, good location. Staff friendly and engaging. Thank you!

.

Clean room. Mattress / Bef was comfortable

Check in was simple and easy, very friendly staff at Check in. Breakfast was adequate, just not many options besides pastries. I did not get my bottle of wine as advertised, not a big deal but just don’t have your heart set on a bottle of wine. Loved how quiet and pretty the property was. Will definitely stay again if we have a swim meet in the area.

The room was spotless, the front desk was very welcoming in the evening upon arrival, I had coffee and continental breakfast every morning, nice big spacious bathroom counter, flat screen TV, a microwave and a refrigerator. Everything we needed.

Wonderful facility

Just what I needed

Clean, friendly and polite staff

Great location, clean and comfortable.

Wonderful

Love the peaceful and attractive grounds of Creekside. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the location is very convenient.

Very nice vibe here way better then chain hotels

Good

Clean room. A bit outdated and with carpet wich makes me a bit jneasy but overall it was a great experience.

Beautiful gem in the heart of Palo Alto. Great room with comfortable bed and great price for a weekday stay.

Perfect for my needs while up at Stanford. Thank you!

No upgrade, but the room I booked was fine.

This place was fantastic! Priced reasonably and great location, with amazing service and nice continental breakfast. Super good deli market on site and the grounds are so pretty and serene with benches, tables and chairs to sit back and relax or on your patio. Highly recommend staying here!

Loved patio outside room overlooking creek

The staff is friendly and the room was nice

Lovely wooded surroundings and beautiful shrubs and flowers

Great staff

Spacious room. Plenty of parking. Nice staff.

Creekside Inn is a beautiful and clean property. The check in and check out were easy and the hotel staff is pleasant. The room was big, clean and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel for families.

As several have reported, the breakfast is too much focused on sweets but I enjoyed the coffee and yogurt

Thin walls. Easy parking.

List: Humidity smell room Broken coffee maker False advertisement regarding heated swimming pool.

Picturesque location, room was a bit dated but clean

Everything is good but no elevator for heavy suitcases.

Great staff. Clean and comfortable room with nice amenities.

Great staff,great setting!!Felt like a little resort . Loved it!!!

I was booked in the wrong room, some glitch with an upgrade they said. My confirmation email said I booked a queen queen room but I was given a king room and when I let front desk know I needed two beds I was informed there were no rooms available with two beds. I was in town for surgery, already very stressed, Not great. Would’ve been good to at least be offered a discount. That aside, I’ve stayed here a few times and really like this place. Feel like I found a hidden gem.

Staff are friendly and accommodating

I stayed in one of the older buildings for my second stay at Creekside. The room smelled terrible musty and a little like pet urine. The air conditioner is an older unit and was so loud.

The property is pleasant, service great and cleaning excellent, but we were given a room directly across from the trash and next to the steak house. The smell when we opened our door was trash mixed with steak, which was not pleasant at all. Area is nice and again, very clean property. Just shouldn't use rooms across from the trash.

But the room itself is dated, a classic bay area 50's building feeling.

The property is clean and quiet.

Highly recommend. Rooms were very nice, large and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helped in any way they can. Best part of it was that since we have stayed here a few times while in town they surprised us and upgraded us to the VIP room at no charge. Staying here next time in town for sure.

It's a very scenic property near Palo Alto. The rainfall showers are awesome. The bed and bedding quite comfortable. The room is very spacious.

The grounds were very well kept very very manicured and very less and pretty

Absolutely accommodating

It was a cute little property with green space and little places to sit throughout in the middle of a busy city area.

Loved my stay here!

Enjoyed the patio.

I love all the trees that incorporate the different buildings such that it’s all rustic and natural feeling. And a lovelyPool area as well.

I got a suite for an extra $10 a day. Suites are supposed to be fully equipped. This one has a kitchen, but it's completely empty: no cutlery, no pans, no plates, and nothing else... So, what’s the point of having a kitchen if you can't even use the microwave to reheat food and eat it?

Nice quaint pkace

Very comfortable hotel, warm environment, very quiet,

I enjoy this place.

We enjoyed our stay, it was a nice clean place. That had its own unique charm. Definitely would recommend and stay again.

Great staff as usual & the stay was quiet and comfy... :)

The office staff went above and beyond to accommodate. The beds were amazing and we slept like a baby.

Nice. Quiet. Clean. The atmosphere was relaxing. I’d stay here again. Room was good size. Also appreciate the car charger and breakfast. VIP perk was a bottle of wine. Nice touch.

It was a great location, easily walkable to restaurants. Nice deli attached to the place.

Thank you

Quiet setting and adequate room but bathroom a problem. No water pressure sink and TOO MUCH water pressure shower with only a half glass panel to block shower was inadequate and water went all over bathroom floor so a mess and dangerously slippery!! Told desk but nothing fine to adjust it. Offered to change rooms but not on vacation to pack up and move to another room with same bathroom arrangement. If they had upgraded us to room with complete shower panel we would have changed!

This is such an incredible hotel and property! Extremely undervalued. Very nice, completely remodeled & updated, safe and amazing friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend this hotel. I flew from Oregon with my 11yr old son for an appt at Stanford. I felt completely safe and even forgot a hairbrush of all things!! My son was sick and the front office staff graciously gave me a new hairbrush free of charge… it is the little things that make a difference. I almost did not book this hotel (we stayed for 3nights) because of some bad reviews.. I was just shocked at the bad reviews vs. my experience. If people are expecting the “Four Seasons” resort, than they need to be prepared to pay those fees! Creekside was excellent and since my son was sick and not feeling good - sleeping and snoring in our rental car, they were gracious enough to allow us a very early check in time. I’m grateful for all of their kindness. We will always book this hotel for future drs appts… thank you very much.

The spread

The carpet was dirty and there were floored hovering in the room. Slept one night and left the next day. I shouldn’t have had to pay even for the few hours that I slept there with no choice. Great inconvenience! I would not recommend it to anyone.

Easy to get to Stanford Hospital and within 10 minutes away

I enjoyed staying here for business. My room were always so clean whenever I back from business everyday.

I reserved a multiple beds room it showed 3 double beds and a sofa bed on the list when I ordered. However when I get the room it only conmes with 2 double beds and a sofa bed. I asked them why they told me they don’t have any 3 double beds room I was not happy about that but nothing I can do on that day

Very good and clean.

Nice continental breakfast, quiet area

Serene area among plants, trees, and cozy outdoor seating in nature. Enjoyed the soothing fountain, flowers, bridge, simple breakfast of pastries, yogurt, tea, coffee, and fruit. Enjoyed the balcony and space with couch. Great to have available water dispenser for water refill 24 hours. Thank you. We booked it again, conveniently located close to stores, dining, freeways, and Stanford. Thank you wonderful staff!

Clean area and quiet

The room was very nice -- exactly as described -- and very quiet despite proximity to a busy street (El Camino). The staff was very kind, helpful, and accommodating. Highly recommended

The property is beautiful. One of the best features is that the property has a market/deli store that makes great sandwiches and snacks. Very convenient! Our room was clean, and the area is very quiet. The only thing is that the air conditioning was a swamp cooler, and it was noisy, but it did its job, and we appreciate that. The pool area is clean and inviting. I would stay here always when in the area.

Staff at check-in was amazing! He let us check-in a few hours early. Very welcoming and professional. Room was very clean, beds were comfortable, and the view was so beautiful and tranquil. Highly recommend! Safe area during both the day and night. Planning to book again in a month or so!

Conveniently close to Stanford. Rooms are clean, but slightly outdated.

Great clean and comfortable

The room was a nice size and the bed was comfortable. The staff members were super friendly.

The property is quite but very close to many dining options. It is a great choice for any Stanford related activity. Free parking and safety are part of the reasons I have stayed here again and again.

Pool should have heated, as advertised.

Grounds are peaceful and lush- property reminded me of a higher end motel setting. Rooms are basic and could use more decor, but had everything we needed and beds were very comfortable, which I cared most about. Nice stay!

Good location to Stanford.

2. Anemic breakfast at the lobby 3. They take away the breakfast before the stated deadline.

would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in the area

Nice and quiet

The rooms are old and tired and not well insulated from noise.

Clean safe and secure place Would recommend

Creekside is a great Inn. the rooms are always nice and clean

We really enjoy our stay at the Creekside Inn. The location was super convenient with lots of dining options and just minutes away to Stanford University.

Good place!

Was shocked when I got to my room to take a nice hot shower after traveling all day, only to find there was no hot water. I called the front desk, and it was an "oh by the way, yeah, you need to let the water run for 10 minutes before it gets hot". Ummmm no. That is unacceptable in modern society at a hotel in Palo Alto. The last thing I want to do when I'm exhausted and need a shower, is stand around in a hotel room, unable to settle in, while I wait for the water to get hot. Furthermore, it is in direct opposition to the hotel's marketing that it is eco-friendly, as all that water is just wasted down the drain. Unacceptable

The stay was convenient and close to my event nearby. Check in was pleasant and respectful. I chose this location to have access to the pool area but unfortunately did not know until I checked in that it was closed for the day.

My go-to hotel when I'm staying in the Palo Alto area. Always a pleasure; always a great experience.

Could have been cleaner and quieter.

Clean. Easy parking.

I was a great place to stay.

Interesting variety of rooms in different size buildings in varied landscaping centered around a creek which was dry when we were there but still very pretty.

Had a lovely time at the hotel.

The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was very comfortable, and the grounds are very beautiful. It is a lovely property.

Lovely place and friendly staff.

Beautiful place to stay while my granddaughter was at a daily camp. wonderful grounds and deli semi-attached to hotel.

Good parking, comfortable room, and nice people.

Fantastic service, great room, in a beautiful property.

Have stayed many times visiting family in the area. Always clean, comfortable rooms and good service. I just wish the showers had normal water pressure. All are low due to flow restrictors and can barely get clean or even keep warm.

On the plus side, beautiful grounds.

Very beautiful quiet & serene. Room was comfortable and very clean! The cleaners were so quick, we left for about 20 minutes and they already replaced the towels and took out the trash :) highly recommend.

My only complaint was the $2/hour charge for the EV charging station.

Love this place!!! Cant wait to come back and experience this place again.

.

Our room had a very nice balcony which we used to slow down prior to going to sleep

Comfortable stay. Included breakfast is not impressive.

Good

Really beautiful grounds in a convenient location. Rooms are nice and clean, but the outdoor space is the main event at Creekside. There are beautiful sitting areas with fountains and gardens. Stunning and peaceful!

Are stay was great. Love the sandwich store that was close.

Super gorgeous hotel! The drive was crazy-cool, cruising past tech and computer company headquarters! The hotel itself was lovely and very family-friendly. The grounds were beautiful and even though the creek was dry, the creekside rooms were totally worth it just for the view. If you can reach, there's even blackberries and raspberries growing around it. There are hidden fountains everywhere! Definitely coming back again!

The first night was rough,

Beautiful well maintained property. Loved my room and surrounding area.

Easy check in, parking was easy and convenient and felt very safe

It is one of a rare hotels that we can find offering room with 2 beds and a sofa bed. The property is in a good location. It is 2 miles from Stanford and is close to many good restaurants. The property is a bit old and the sofa bed not firm enough to sleep comfortably.

Creekside Inn is a quaint place located 5-10 minutes drive from Stanford. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast consists of muffins, croissants, cereal, yogurt and coffee. I’d stay again.

Peaceful
