"Very nice stay. The only suggestion is that the pool area could be better kept up on a regular basis. Wind blowing leaves and empty cans about. Pool and hot tub needed skimming of leaves and debris. Wonderful place!!"

Nobu Hotel Palo Alto

8/10 Good
"The hotel kinda smells like sushi fish.... cuz the restaurant is right at the ground floor. I could still smell it in the halls. The design/decor is nice but very plain. The shower had a floor with a weird design which won't dry that well and probably prone to mold. Overall it was fine but I would prob stay somewhere else for the price"
