Top Palo Alto Hotel Reviews

Leland Hotel Palo Alto

8/10 Good

"Very nice and clean rooms. Staff is very welcoming. Free parking on site. The only complaint I have is that the A/C and heater had a very bad smell so I couldn’t use it and the blankets weren’t very warm. There was also a lot of street noise and construction right next door so it makes it hard to sleep in the mornings. But other than that I enjoyed my stay!"
