    Great location, clean rooms, good pool.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nice space overall, but room was weirdly humid and not very well lit. And all the coffee in the room was decaf, so we didn’t have coffee or complimentary breakfast.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This is such a beautiful and unique hotel. Very kid friendly, but still giving off an elegant vibe for the adults. The well curated art collection throughout the property and grounds, along with a beautiful koi pond and friendly ducks, made this a very peaceful stay. We will be back!

    We love Dinah’s ✨

    The staff were great. The outdoor poolside restaurant was amazing. I loved the outdoor garden and ducks and fish.

    Dinah's is a conveniently located property, with ample onsite parking. I stayed in one of their suites and it was very pleasantly decratated in a southwest flair and the kokopelli scupltures relly pulled the southwestern theme together. I'll definitely be staying at Dinah's for future visits to Palo Alto.

    We lived this hotel. wonderful environment and good location.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Loved the garden setting . Dinner and breakfast by the pool felt like a vacation, not the business trip I was on! Staff super helpful and friendly

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Cool, funky, eclectic place. Great for families. They had copies of the local paper and the Wall Street Journal (much appreciated), though when I checked out at 10 they didn't have the current day. The garden is nice to look at. You can order food and eat by the pool, but the food choices are limited. I appreciated that the receptionist moved my room to the ground level when I wasn't in an elevator building, since I had large luggage. Affordable, too! Lots of history in the place.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The property is a little dated, but everything was very clean and well kept up. It was nice to have the restaurant on site for later dining. The beds were comfortable and everything was quiet. Overall very nice stay and close enough to Stanford University to make for a convenient stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very unique and relaxing setting

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I liked the salt water swimming pool and the grounds were pretty! The room had a slight mold smell when I walked in

    Clean and convenient. Coffee machine didn’t need work.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    - Zen environment, truly an island in the midst of hectic silicon valley. - actual blackout curtain - on-site Tesla chargers (albeit at 6kw) - great pool, poolside restaurant and snacks - bright a/c power on light, sorry of cancels the benefit of the blackout curtain
