I come to Palo Alto for work frequently and this is by far the best place to stay and eat. Every meal I have had is delicious with high quality ingredients. The service is very attentive amd friendly and the rooms are extremely clean, well decorated and comfortable. Plus the gardens are beautiful and relaxing. I come here for work, but it's like a vacation staying here

Dinah’s Poolside Restaurant offers a truly delightful dining experience, standing out not only for its great service but also for its wonderfully relaxing ambiance; the setting is quaint and full of character, creating a peaceful, nostalgic atmosphere right by the water. While the entire menu is appealing, the absolute must-try is their phenomenal corned beef hash, which is perfectly seasoned, wonderfully crisp, and clearly homemade, making it a standout dish that solidifies Dinah's as a charming hidden gem.

This was the shining star of an otherwise really bad day. The food was phenomenal, service was top shelf. My wife had been craving fish and chips with fresh fish and oh my God! I will not be able to eat fish and chips in Reno for at least 6 months. We are so glad we found this place and will definitely be coming back whenever we are anywhere close to Palo Alto!

Wasn't staying at the hotel. Merely stopped by for breakfast. The restaurant was busy at around 9:30am on a Saturday, but not overwhelmingly so. The food was nice, service was good and (sufficiently) prompt. Overall 4 stars. A good option considering there were not many similarly nice spots nearby, at least according to Google maps.

It's like being on vacation and you really are in town. Themed rooms, great food served poolside, a nice reprieve from busy life! A great find!

Went here for dinner. Stayed nearby in a hotel that didn’t have a restaurant. I travel a lot and they had the best maybe the best brussel sprouts I have ever had. The following wagyu burger did not disappoint. The peaceful atmosphere was great too. As someone always traveling, always on the go, it was a very nice break from the constant go go go.
