In a very location of Palo Alto, nice and friendly staff always ready to give u helping hands and especially a front desk American Mexican gentleman who helped me check in is super helpful ..his professionalism is much appreciated. The breakfast is super simple but at a much reasonable hotel price... it has been values for money. I come this time for a course at Stanford University and will be back for another in 2027. Creekside Inn is my only choice Highly recommended.
