    lush landscaping
    creek view room
    helpful staff
    out of order elevator

    The place felt like a hidden gem with lush landscaping and comfy seating. We checked out Stanford Live and caught an amazing show featuring the Kronos Quartet. Pro tip, Definitely grab a creek view room – the sound of water is so relaxing. Staff were super helpful, and there’s easy access to local shops and restaurants.

    The elevator was out of order during our stay, which made navigating with luggage a bit tricky. It wasn't a huge deal but a little inconvenient, especially hauling bags up the narrow stairs.

    beautiful grounds
    quiet

    Just a perfect match for a walk in the evening in Palo Alto with great value for the money. Beautiful grounds are surprisingly quiet despite being on busy El Camino Real. Make sure to stop at the nice restaurant on the premises.

    Perfect spot for Families visiting Stanford

    Had a great time at this place with my family. The food at the on-site restaurant was fantastic, and my kids really loved it! Plus, the grounds were just beautiful for them to run around.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but still acceptable given the overall experience.

    maintenance issues
    limited dining options

    Relaxing stay with a beautiful creek view from the balcony, creating a serene atmosphere. The room was spacious and clean, enhancing comfort during the visit. Enjoyed complimentary e-vehicle charging and unique toiletries, adding to the overall experience. However, noisy neighbors interrupted the tranquility at times, and minor maintenance issues were noticed. The location was convenient, but the food options were somewhat limited.

    peaceful grounds
    excellent service

    my family and i loved our stay at creekside inn! the grounds are beautifully landscaped and so peaceful. the superior queen room was very clean and spacious. we appreciated the excellent service and the complimentary breakfast pastries in the morning. it's an ideal spot, especially since it's close to stanford hospital.

    however, the shower setup was a bit awkward, with the shower head's placement making it chilly at first.

    Beautiful and Peaceful Getaway

    The grounds are absolutely stunning, filled with lush greenery and the soothing sounds of the creek. I stayed in a King Room with Garden View, which was very comfortable and exceeded my expectations with great amenities. The location is perfect, with easy access to restaurants and nearby attractions. However, I wish the breakfast options were more varied. the selection felt a bit lacking.

    Lovely Stay with Character

    I loved relaxing in the hammock outside my room and appreciated the easy access to a water bottle filling station. With charming meeting spaces and diverse dining options within walking distance, it made our stay delightful! Just a heads-up, rooms near the pool can be a bit noisy.

    nice stay but room could use updates

    The cleaning staff did a great job, ensuring everything was spotless during our stay. The room had useful amenities like a safe and ironing facilities, which made our family stay more comfortable.

    The bathroom fixtures felt a bit outdated and could use some modernization.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Creekside Inn. The beautiful landscaping and serene setting made for a calming experience. The paths between buildings were easy to navigate, and the outdoor seating offered a lovely space to relax.
