    Front of Stanford House
    Debbie S.

    Unfortunately, I came to know of Stanford House when my Daughter was transferred to Stanford Hospital. I am so thankful for the rate they charged, as other Hotels near were almost double. This place was all I needed! Food can be delivered in, or there are many options within a short drive. The room is small, but I was only in it short periods of time, and it was very clean. The Staff are all on top of their game, and friendly, including cleaning crew! A perk were the Deer I got to enjoy, out my Window.

Never feel like…read moreyou are in a hotel room, whether melting into the great beds or enjoying room service in the sofa area you feel like you are in a house not a galley room. Double sinks, very elegant bathrooms. The outdoor courtyard and firepits are perfect for dinner, or a cocktail, and the Menlo Tavern is open all day from breakfast to dinner and the locals love to eat there. The courtyard is beautiful, with live entertainment. Well staffed and everyone from desk to doorman is friendly and helpful. Never a wait for room service or to check in. Best location for campus or great shopping at the high end mall across the street. From the huge fireplace in the lobby to the courtyard, the entire hotel is is elegant, cozy and spotless. Easy and ample parking right on site to come and go as please, with tesla and EV charging. We have favorite hotels in NY, Chicago and CA, but none are like the warmth of the Stanford Park.

In the hotel, there's a restaurant where you can start your day with delicious French toast (10/10) and relax by the fireplace after and play a game of Scrabble. In the afternoon there are cookies near the front desk that you're welcome to stop by and eat. The swimming pool is heated and set in the rear of the hotel, giving it a nice secluded feel. The pool area has a club-like feel to it with towels on hand, a large TV, and a refrigerator full of canned water. The rooms are pristine and clean, the furniture hand-selected and styled to where it feels like a place you can sleep, work, and lounge. The bathrooms are gorgeous with double sinks, a lit round makeup mirror, a walk-in spacious shower that can comfortably have 2 people in it, and a mirrored closet where you'll find bath robes and slippers. The beds are firm and comfortable, and the pillows feel alright while sitting up, but may not be for everyone for sleeping. Our group of 11 all shared the same comments of barely getting any sleep and feeling neck sore the next day and we came to the overall consensus that it was the pillows. Overall, it's a very solid, very classy hotel with charm and a gorgeous aesthetic. Staying there felt like home away from home.

Right from the get go our on-site coordinators helped ensure that everything went perfectly in the lead up to our special day and on it. We had amazing food and drink for us and all our guests, exceptionally well kept rooms, and an easy working experience for all our external vendors who contributed to our special day. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful in its design with its Spanish influenced architecture and every room having a little balcony overlooking the intimate courtyard or if its on the outside of the hotel, the downtown Palo Alto area. We honestly couldn't have imagined a better venue for our wedding, everyone had a good time and not a single thing went wrong.

The issue was that the cleaning staff did not clean the bathroom at the 2nd night. The bathtub was dirty, so we had to clean it up. The floss and toilet paper were not filled. We did not bother to call as it was near midnight. We were disappointed it was not cleaned even with the high tips we left on the 1st night. Also, we were not explained about breakfast areas and complimentary drinks when we checked in. We found it out when we were checking out.

The bathrooms are compartmentalized and well lit which I appreciate for makeup application. Tiny closet, but not a problem if you are only staying a short time. The floors are fake wood which does not help with noise abatement, and that is the main complaint I have for the property. I would swear that the Stanford basketball team had the room above us (I usually request the top floor but was unable to this time as my husband was due at Stanford Medical for a procedure that kept him from taking the stairs (I never located an elevator from parking garage to the two floors.) Parking is below ground level. There is a stairwell at the south end but there really should be an elevator. Handicapped people would have to park in front of the office for direct access to the property. The noise from the room above me (sounded like running and bouncing balls) deterred my two nights of sleep. For a short stay, and convenient location to Stanford Medical, this is the place to stay. It is convenient. But it is not quiet due to poor floor insulation, highway traffic and trains.

Our room looks like it's been recently updated, and it looks like they were renovating the pool area and the tiles outside. Most rooms had a small outdoor table and 2 chairs in front of their doors. Ours, room 206, did not have a set because we were across from the elevator. The breakfast area is small and adjacent to the lobby. I assume some people took their food back to their rooms, and if the weather was nicer, back to those outdoor tables. Breakfast offering were pretty basic, but they did have a waffle maker and a yogurt machine. Parking is under the motel, with 7 foot clearance. This is a great value and location.

The initial savories were yummy, but I don't think that I can appreciate all of their fanciness. I don't like caviar. Ricotta tartlettes were fine. There was some sort of mousse thing that was ok, but I didn't like it much. The gougères were my favorite. The second row was cucumber sandies, chicken on croissant and lobster on brioche toast. All were excellent. I don't like caraway though, so cucumber sandies weren't the best. They bring out a warm scone when they bring out your second tea selection (you get two). The scone was not great. Just give me a plain scone and let me slather it with yumminess and I am a happy gal. This was cranberry thingy that was just ok. Desserts were good. There was some sort of chocolate thing that I enjoyed. The mini pavlova was my favorite. There was some sort of quick bread with zingy curd on top. It was ok. Then there was a moussie thing that was just ok. I don't know what it was because the online menu Does Not match what they give you. I understand that they change it, but it was a little deceptive. The ambiance was NOT relaxing. The setup up is in their café, which is next to the lobby. I didn't expect to be sitting in the lobby. In the photo you can see the front desk.

The hotel is located right by SLAC, tucked into a hillside setting in Menlo Park. The property feels peaceful, elegant, and very well maintained. Madera Restaurant offers a full upscale dining menu and is a great choice for lunch, dinner, a business meal, date night, or a special occasion. Madera Bar is perfect for cocktails, wine, and light bites in a more relaxed but still refined atmosphere. Bici Coffee is a nice option for coffee, pastries, or a casual stop for bikers if you do not want a full sit-down meal. Rosewood Sand Hill is also a nice place for a tea party or an afternoon gathering with friends. One of the best parts is the view from the hill. I like how you can partially see the highway from the restaurant, but you cannot really hear it, so the setting feels very calm and secluded. Occasionally, you can see some movement in the distance, but if you were not looking in that direction, you probably would not even notice it. Because of that, the whole place feels very private and relaxing. Visiting Rosewood Sand Hill feels like you have been transported somewhere away from Silicon Valley, even though you are actually right in the middle of it, just a walking distance from SLAC, the particle accelerator, and Zoox's autonomous vehicles. That contrast makes the experience even more interesting: you are surrounded by the Silicon Valley's technology and innovation, but the atmosphere feels secluded, quiet, luxurious, and almost like a retreat.

    TL;DR Peaceful atmosphere, great food, and exceptional…read moreservice. A true 5-star experience. All the deets: We started our stay with complimentary EV charging and a golf cart ride to our cottage. From the moment we arrived, the service felt effortless and welcoming. No snobby or stuffiness. The room had an epon feel with high ceilings, a large walk-in closet, a spacious bathroom, and a balcony overlooking the lawn and fountain. It was the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast and if you get lucky maybe see some of the bunnies that run around the property. Next stop: the pool. Swim, eat, repeat. The staff regularly came around with complimentary tastings from the menu, and more than once we ended up ordering the item they brought - spicy tuna tostadas at the top of the list! The saltwater pool was fantastic, although I was glad I packed goggles(your eyes may not appreciate salty water it as much as the rest of you). The pool menu is relatively small but thoughtfully curated, with every item we tried delivering on quality and flavor. In the evening, we got ready and walked over to dinner at Madera. A separate review is coming, but dining on the deck while watching the sunset was a highlight of the stay. The halibut seemed to be the popular choice around us and looked incredible. Fork ordered the ribeye steak, while Spoon went with the mushroom ragù. Both dishes were excellent and a perfect end to the day. Final verdict: Rosewood Sand Hill delivers luxury without feeling stuffy. Between the beautiful grounds, attentive service, excellent food, and relaxing atmosphere, it's an easy recommendation for a staycation or special occasion.
