The breakfast is a favorite among our guests as well. We have a lot of guests that prefer that location due to the tranquility it offers. The Zen Garden that was located behind your room is one of my personal favorite locations on our property and I am happy that you share the same opinion. I am glad to hear you were able to use the many amenities we offer throughout our hotel. We are so happy that we had the opportunity to welcome you to our property during the milestone College Reunion weekend. The toiletries in the room were very high and we used them all.ĭear Brian M, Thank you so much for such a fantastic review regarding your recent visit with us. Bottom line, we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves at such a nice place. Pulling our car almost up to the front door was also a plus. Free snacks and water bottles in our room were greatly appreciated & taken advantage of, along with having Starbucks coffee (& tea) in the room every morning.(& Real Mugs provided !) I took photos of the beautiful Zen Gardens right out my back door(I thought it was a closet until I opened the door) but can't seem to upload them to this review. The breakfast includes hot eggs,potatoes,oatmeal, fruit, yogart (and much more) and a variety of bagels & toast to a different flavor Power Boost Shake every morning. I truly hope that we get the opportunity to welcome you again in the near future and hope that our front desk staff is able to duplicate the warm hospitality that you have graciously highlighted above.Outside might look like a two star Motel, but they present themselves like a four star or above establishment! The entire staff was extremely pleasant and helpful! One day we saw a crew working on the gardens from 7am when we went to their breakfast (included with the price of the room) until we got back from our day's adventure at 5pm. A stop by Tesla on the way to Green Gulch, with liquid nitrogen ice cream in hand, is indeed a great recommendation for a Sunday well spent. I would also like to thank you for highlighting our central location to all of the nearby sights and available activities. We have found that the extra touches you mentioned, from the L’Occitane toiletries to the fresh fruit & veggie smoothies and pillow-top mattresses, are just a few of the things that set us apart from the chain hotels in Palo Alto. I am very happy to see that you appreciated our distinct Zen style, which is a fusion of minimalist design and all of the modern comforts and amenities that you would expect in a luxury hotel. Here's to satori.ĭear Owen G, Thank you very much for your thoughtful comments. I suppose you could say this should be expected at an high end boutique hotel, but such welcome is always appreciated (I took an apple instead). I had arrived late with no reservation, but the desk received me graciously and magnanimously - offering me cookies after checking in. And, if you are up for a real zen experience - and it is a Sunday morning - zip up to Marin to Green Gulch's public program for meditation instruction, talk, tea and lunch. Near Stanford University campus, a fantastic Whole Foods (where they make liquid nitrogen made ice cream), and just across the street is a Tesla showroom where you can investigate the inner zen-like simplicity of a Tesla chassis. You can just feel the ivy-league and tech atmosphere. Pleasant breakfast room in the morning with amenities like fresh made fruit smoothies. Bath robes, special soaps, and really nice and comfy mattress etc.I slept very well. Rooms had a nice, tidy proportion to them with all the luxury you might expect from upper end boutique. While not exactly a zendo for meditation (there is a real one nearby in the Los Altos hills), the style of this hotel mimics the design elements of a traditional Japanese temple for meditation - simplicity and order.
