Even after taking precautions suggested by several other reviews --- best to avoid this place. The management tries to fool you w/gimmickry (such as genuflecting green) & some eye candy. PROS: Location near Palo Alto, Stanford & on El Camino (main thorofare) Nice gardens on the grounds. CONS: 1. Old 50s era buildings (except the tower --- but see other... More

The room was a nice. clean average hotel room and we liked the little balcony overlooking the "creek". The heater/air conditioner unit was a little noisy and could hear the neighbor's kick on & off during the night but overall no complaints. The restaurant was very nice and had a good breakfast-we just missed the hotel's continental-it closed at 9am... More

The Creekside Inn is 1950's California-style motel that has been renovated with such great care that it conveys a cool sense of nostalgia. Not only don't make them like this anymore, they probably never did. It feels almost like your on a movie set. More

I purchased a two night stay here on Hotwire and when I went to check out on the Sunday, the desk clerk insisted there was "no record of my stay being prepaid." After he searched for about 10 minutes to find it in his system, I got very fed up. He said he would not charge me but would have... More

Have stayed here many times over the years- stayed there 12/23/11- they claimed place was full, and could not put us in quieter room on poolside. Streetside room much noisier, next morning found place at most 10-15% full. The internet connection was the slowest I have had aside from modems in Mexico. Room was cold, but turning on heat resuled... More

We were 2 couples and we each had a king room. Very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were upgraded and had nice amenities. The beds had high quality linens and plenty of pillows. We both agreed we will return soon. The proximity to Stanford University and excellent restaurants and shopping are a plus. It is a quiet oasis with fountains... More

We stayed in a double room near to the creek. The room was clean and spaceous, the staff friendly and the location of the inn very convenient for our excursions by mountain bike. The lush garden was relaxing after a strenuous mountain bike day. Breakfast is just a small business breakfast with some sweet pastry and coffee/tea served in the... More

Our room was alittle outdated and had a musty odor. The bed was ok. We had a balcony that overlooked the pool area. The motel is set amongst mature oaks trees, a creek and has a park like feel to it. It was convenient to have a small market/deli on the property. More

This 'boutique' hotel in Palo Alto is a wonderful place to stay. The "creekside" name exactly describes the ambiance and setting of the rooms. All the rooms border the creek and the mature oaks that surround and line the creek give you the feeling of being in a beautiful, quiet country setting. The restaurant attached has wonderful food, affordable prices... More
