Creekside Inn is a simple hotel located close to Stanford Campus and Stanford Medical on El Camino in South Palo Alto, a short drive from both. The grounds are well-maintained, beautiful, and really nice, with a large creek bed running through the property. Rooms are not fancy and some feel dated with older furniture, decor, and carpet, but they are described as clean, spacious, beautiful, and very spacious with scenic views. Some rooms have large outdoor patios. The beds can be lumpy and the mattress may need a refresh. There is no elevator to the second floor. The staff are very nice, helpful, friendly, kind, and warm, often going above and beyond. The hotel has an old-hotel style charm. Amenities include a small refrigerator in the room, a heated pool, and a deli and restaurant on site. A breakfast spread with pastries and coffee is offered, though an additional amenity fee is charged. The location is great and easy for accessing a bus to the train station. It is a decent inn and a hidden gem, with many guests stating they would stay here again for its value and competitive price.
Great place to stay in Stanford and close to University and amenities.
