Dinah's Garden Hotel

Dinah's Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for a quick overnight in early August. The rate was good for the Palo Alto area. We enjoyed resting by the pool after a 5 am departure from Southern California. The rooms are nothing fancy, but clean and updated for an older property. We enjoyed the complimentary Wall Street Journal in the lobby. The staff was very professional and welcoming. "
