Reviews
The hotel is generally well-liked for its boutique style, cleanliness, and comfortable rooms. The staff is frequently praised for being friendly and helpful. However, some guests have complained about odd smells, expensive parking, and lack of certain amenities like a coffee maker in the room.

The location is great and the staff checked us out was great as well. The bathroom was very clean when we checked in. The room layout was kind of strange but pretty large comparing to other hotels in the area. The issue was that the cleaning staff did not clean the bathroom at the 2nd night. The bathtub was dirty, so we had to clean it up. The floss and toilet paper were not filled. We did not bother to call as it was near midnight. We were disappointed it was not cleaned even with the high tips we left on the 1st night. Also, we were not explained about breakfast areas and complimentary drinks when we checked in. We found it out when we were checking out.

The hotel is lovely in every way - quiet, super clean, roomy, elegant. We felt like honored guests and enjoyed padding down the hall in our slippers every morning for coffee. Even the balcony overlooking Cowper was wonderful for morning coffee or afternoon wine. Highly recommend!

The El Prado was a lovely hotel to stay while visiting family in Palo Alto. Room was spacious, and had a very comfortable bed, nice bathroom, and pleasant decor. Location was convenient for walking to restaurants and small shops. There s no restaurant at the hotel, but you can order room service for breakfast, which was very good! I would stay at this property again.

We stayed for a friend's wedding at the hotel. All of the staff from valet, check-in, housekeeping, and the reception servers were great. The room was better than the pictures online made it look. It was spacious, comfortable, quiet, and clean. We live close enough that it would have been doable to drive home after the wedding reception, but I'm glad we decided to stay. We slept soundly and enjoyed a nice breakfast in bed before returning to normal life. If there's another event that brings me to this part of The Bay, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

I don’t know if our door leading out to the balcony had gap, but there was a howling all night long, every night that we were there. We were on the top floor in room 411. I actually thought it was an ambulance until I realized when I opened the door, the sound went away when I closed the door it continued. Not sure if there’s a wind tunnel in that back parking lot and it does it in all the rooms, but it was really annoying. For that reason I would not stay there again. We spent $1100 for 3 nights …quite a lot not to sleep well. Our mattress tilted down towards the bathroom. That mattress needs to be replaced.

In the heart of Palo Alto next to all the restaurants. We took 2 suites. Both on the 4th floor. Excellent layout, sunlight, furniture, bedding and bathroom cleanliness. Boutique hotel lived up to our expectations from the valet to housekeeping. If you have a room facing the courtyard, expect a bit of echo from the il fornaio terrace downstairs but it is not significant. Definitely coming back.

We stayed here as guests for a wedding reception in the hotel. It is in a very good location in downtown Palo Alto. Beautiful classic interior decor, super quiet rooms, friendly service, easy city parking across the street and next door, with high speed EV chargers, in addition to valet parking in the hotel. The Italian restaurant, Il Fornaio, is next door to the hotel and convenient, where the rehearsal dinner took place. The reception in the hotel was amazing, the food was delicious, especially the abundant hours d'oeuvres, and charcuterie boards. The service was outstanding, and the facilities were beautiful and well maintained. We truly enjoyed our stay, and would highly recommend for a wedding reception.

The Hotel has a great location, rooms are super spacious and clean. The lobby is quite small with minimal seating area. Service and staff were really really nice and friendly and did an amazing job. However there was a huge downside to us that there’s no actual restaurant in the hotel to dine for breakfast or a bar to have a drink. There’s only in room dining available which would’ve been fine, except we were staying with out family in 4 different rooms and we were never able to just come down and have breakfast all together. We like to sit down for breakfast, not have breakfast in the room.

While the daytime front desk manager provided 5 star service, when the night time manager started it was amateur hour. The doorman also never opened the door for me. Surprising for a hotel of this caliber. Otherwise the property itseld was a gem. The room felt so comfortable, as if we were at home in our apartment. The bathroom was especially nice with marble tile. Also, not related to my review but there is a coffee machine in a common area that is for employees only. It seems a little odd.

The hotel is nice and comfortable but the hotel description on the Hotels.com site says there are bars/restaurants. There are NO bars or restaurants. I would not have booked this hotel if I had known that. Also the room service is not 24 hours.

Location is pretty good and walkable to restaurants. It is pretty new and clean. Staffs are friendly as well. I booked one bed room suite room for total 3 people. The downside is our bathroom door is so tight so there is a huge squeezing sound every time when you open the door. I got woke up every time at night when my family went to bathroom. So I couldn’t have a good sleep during our stay and unfortunately I got shingles after back of the trip.
