The Garden Court does not look imposing from the street, but entering the 2.nd floor reception gave a pleasant feeling of entering a place that easily could be a home. Everything is stylish and comfortable, and the staff was smiling and personal. My room was spacious and very, very comfortable. The bed was a dream to sleep in. The bathroom... More

The Garden Court is the best conceivable combination of exceptional service, charming ambiance, superb catering for events and the absolutely most gracious and considerate service. This is my very favorite spot in Palo Alto or Menlo Park.

Looked like newly decorated rooms and bathrooms. Loved everything about it. Location... More
