Really nice stay
Really nice stay. The hotel is a bit dated, but still clean and in decent condition. The staff were very nice and helpful.

Dinah's Garden is an absolute gem! Enjoyed a relaxed stay on their beautiful property, and the staff were friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate requests. Will definitely repeat when I travel to the South Bay.

The linens were so bad they were scratchy and they’ve just been like filled with bleach that it was really uncomfortable. It just doesn’t take much to have nice linens for a hotel. And for this hotel in this location in Palo Alto it should’ve been much nicer. This felt like a subpar best western absolutely nothing more. Although the location has a pool and a bar restaurant and it’s supposed to be nice but really bad.

Outstanding hotel
Everything about this hotel was excellent. Front desk lady was very nice. Gave me a complimentary upgrade room and a box of Sees candies. Room was very clean and big. I opened up the back window (screened) and let the fresh air and the sound of water put me to sleep all night. Wonderful place.

My go-to hotel near Stanford.
It’s always a nice place to stay when visiting Stanford and Palo Alto and provides a good balance of being a good hotel while also being reasonably priced.

This is a pleasant and very different hotel. It is quiet, except for Sunday mornings when a lot of people come for brunch in its very good restaurant. Terrific breakfasts. Good service

Unique inn
It is a unique, serene setting very close to Stanford. We stayed elsewhere for a night and Dinah’s was far superior.

Great Stay
This hotel is beautiful. Very relaxing atmosphere. The bed was so comfy! Check in was great, staff was friendly. Only complaint was very little parking, i came back from my concert and had to park at a different building within the hotel, even with handicap.

Beautiful and a great buy!
Absolutely wonderful hidden gem at such a good price relative to location in such a high end town. Staying in a zen garden room is really worth it. Restaurant for breakfast by the pool was good and good value. Next time at Shoreline for a concert, we're booking again!
