While Dinah's Garden Hotel puts you near the Stanford University campus and Silicon Valley's top businesses and attractions, we offer a sense of place unlike any other hotel in California. Our 97 hotel rooms and 32 suites are inspired by décor from around the globe - creating boutique-style ambiances that are relaxing and residential in feel. The hotel offers guests a much-needed break from the seen-one-seen-'em-all chain hotels. Hotel founders Milla and Raymond Handley designed a refreshingly unique destination that is rich in history and distinguished by custom woodwork and furnishings, crown molding, and art – ensuring that no two rooms are alike. From our cozy lobby filled with colonial-era furniture and original artwork from Africa, Asia, and India to modern amenities like complimentary Wi-Fi and a full-service business center, we have offered Palo Alto's most unique brand of hospitality for more than 60 years. Guests also enjoy the convenience of having two locally loved restaurants onsite: Dinah's Poolside Restaurant and the Bay Area's premier seafood option, THE SEA by Alexander's Steakhouse. The hotel is conveniently located between San Jose and San Francisco International airports, just three miles from Stanford University, downtown Palo Alto, and many Silicon Valley companies.

Highlights

  • +Beautiful gardens/grounds, lagoons and poolside setting
  • +Friendly, helpful staff (several mentions, including named staff)
  • +Restaurant and food highly praised
  • +Cleanliness generally noted positively
  • +Convenient location for South Bay / repeat-guest favorite

Could Improve

  • –Rooms described as dated/jaded and in need of remodel (carpet issues)
  • –No included breakfast frequently noted / limited breakfast choices
  • –Small gym with limited weight equipment
  • –Weak Wi‑Fi reported multiple times
  • –Occasional rude or poorly communicative front-desk interactions
  • –Lack of a covered communal space for guests; outdoor dining can conflict with swimmers
Cleanliness8.1

Generally praised across multiple reviews ('Limpeza', 'very clean'), but several isolated negative reports (dirty carpet, noticeable spills, stale smell in a suite) lower the score slightly.

Service9.4

Staff frequently described as friendly, helpful and welcoming (specific praise for server Noe and polite staff); a few mentions of rudeness at reception or poor communication on small requests slightly temper an otherwise strong service reputation.

Location9.5

Consistently praised (convenient for South Bay, loved by repeat guests, attractive approach and setting); grounds, lagoons and easy access are strong positives.

Room Quality7.6

Multiple comments that rooms are 'jaded' and need remodeling, lack adequate rugs/seating for work, and specific issues like worn/dirty carpet reduce this category below average.

Amenities8.2

Beautiful grounds, poolside dining, park and duck pond are strong assets; negatives include a small gym with limited equipment and repeated complaints about weak Wi‑Fi and lack of a covered communal space.

Value for Money9.0

Several guests cite good price and long-term loyalty to the property; value is reinforced by the setting and dining, though room-condition issues slightly moderate perception.

Food and Beverage9.7

Restaurant and food receive frequent high praise (excellent restaurant, delicious dinners, loved poolside dining); some guests note limited breakfast offerings (requests for oatmeal, desire for breakfast packages).

Overall Experience9.7

Overall sentiment is very positive—beautiful, relaxing property with excellent service and dining—tempered by specific operational and room-quality concerns noted by a minority of guests.

Terrific stay in a quiet garden oasis

Liked:Surrounding Fred like we were in a river oasis. Loved the fountains and koi fish.
Disliked:Towels could be more plush to go with the rest of the restful oasis-like surroundings.

Liked:Very good location if you have work/travel around South Bay. Large and open property and there's plenty of area to walk around. There is a small park and duck pond in the property. The food in the restaurant is good. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Disliked:The gym is small with very little space and equipments for weight training. They should offer a room package that includes breakfast.
