We just returned from a 3 day stay at Dinah's Garden Hotel. The ambiance and gardens are make this a wonderful, calming oasis in Palo Alto. However, cleanliness and service is an issue. The room was not well cleaned, the rug was tired, old and very stained. The bed was old and too soft. The pool had much plant debris... More

I used to stay in this hotel regularly in 8/10 times I got other room than I booked from Priceline. It used to be good hotel but now it's worst place to stay. If we book 2 queen bed with garden room we will get either 1 king with garden or 2 queen with road view. Hotel management over books... More

Have stayed here the third time and it's gotten better every since. Make sure to get a Room in Building 6 (or any other renovated Building) and you'll have a excellent stay. Great mattress, shower, large room and nice staff.

Dont be fooled by its innocuous appearance from El Camino Real, the hotel is a really nice place. Rooms are large and thoughtfully furnished. I stayed there for 3 nights after having stayed on almost every other hotel in and around Palo Alto and I really liked this place.

My wife and I recently spent 2 nights at Dinah's Garden Hotel in Palo Alto. It's conveniently located, about 15 minutes from the airport in San Jose, close to Stanford and less than an hour's drive up to Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco. It was clean, comfortable and mostly updated (the remodel appears to be nearly done). The staff was... More

We stayed here while visiting Stanford. It is a bit farther than some of the other hotels in Palo Alto but we were very happy to stay at Dinah's. We had a beautiful view of the ponds right out the window and the room was super comfortable with lots of extra amenities in the room, like an exercise bike, a... More

Fantastic place to stay in Palo Alto. Beautiful gardens, with streams and ponds full of Koi Carp running through the grounds - my daughter loved it. Great little swimming pool, which catches the sun all day. Great food at the poolside bar - especially the breakfasts! The rooms are very nicely re-furbished, especially the rooms with patio's leading onto the... More

The only reason I didn't give the hotel top ratings in every respect is that on our first night, we were in a room that was very worn and that was on top of a room that was undergoing very noisy renovations that began early in the morning. The next day, the folks at the desk very kindly moved us... More

I went to the hotel for a single night, to have a photo shoot. We stayed in the Bali - Lanai Suite. The room was very interestingly decorated, even though not really "Bali" themed. It was more like "pan asian" themed. The conditions were definitely dated, I'm think the room itself hadn't been update since the 70s, but it had... More
