From the street, you'd think it was just another, unprerposessing, mid-Peninsula El Camino motel but, when you enter the property from its main entrance on a side street, you're entering a "world apart." The Creekside Inn is aptly named because its buildings cluster around a creek that falls from the Coast Range above Palo Alto into the San Francisco Bay.... More

I was in town for a conference at Stanford -- along with many, many others. The hotel staff was the epitome of grace under pressure, especially during the onslaught of arrivals and departures. They juggled many requests for taxis, airport shuttles, room changes, etc. They handled it all, without breaking a sweat. And then there's the place itself -- I... More

We recently spent 3-4 nights at this little gem. Some of us stayed longer than others. We were lots of family visiting for a wedding. We had a total of 4 rooms. Unfortunately, they were renovating, and the one room we booked, was not available. Or so it seemed. Stacy did a marvelous job of finding something that would work... More

We stayed two nights at the Creekside Inn and were delighted with the accommodations. What a beautiful setting. The downstairs room, which also included an alcove type seating area with flatscreen TV, had a balcony facing the little creek that runs through the property. Because the address was on El Camino Real, a very busy main street in Palo Alto,... More

Had a great stay while working an event at Stanford. The landscaping and customer service makes you feel like you are in a little oasis. Staff was accommodating to all our requests (i.e. conference room use, drop-offs). Thank you, Creekside Inn for the hospitality!

My only disappointment with the Creekside Inn is that I only stayed one night. The setting was charming, the room was lovely, and the amenities were surprisingly nice (who provides lip balm in a toiletry basket? These guys! I'm still enjoying it at home.) The room was fantastic, with free Wi-Fi, lots of free TV channels, and a sweet little... More

For some reason I didn't have high expectations for this hotel, not sure why, maybe it was because its considered an inn. But I was pleasantly surprised that the room was pretty spacious, clean, and looked to be in good condition. Good value and being Eco friendly is a definite plus!

Stayed here on an overnight business trip. Excellent staff, especially Elena, who upgraded me to a large balcony room (228)! Very comfortable bed (even have different "styles" ('i.e., firmness) of pillows which was a first in my experience) and quiet surroundings. A great place to stay on the pinnensula for business or pleasure. Will be back.
