I had to unexpectedly pick up my teenaged niece at Stanford at 7 p.m. and we needed a place to stay that night. The Garden Court was a great refuge for us. When my niece walked in the room she sighed and said, "Ahh, home". Superb service and friendly faces everywhere. The room was soothing and very comfortable. We couldn't... more

We bring our clients here twice a year for semi annual meetings and would be hard pressed to find the same attention and accommodating service anywhere else in the area. Quite frankly, we've looked and you can't beat the service or location anywhere else in the University area. Our clients are a very discerning and demanding group. And, hhe Garden... more

I spent four wonderful days before and after my daughter's wedding there. I loved all the employees I met and the personal touch that comes with a boutique hotel. No matter what my request, somebody was there within seconds with a smile on their face {and that includes everyone I encountered.} It is delightful to be in the center of... more

A boutique hotel beyond the call of duty. From the top mangement down they are all friendly and always there immediately to help in any way. The rooms are a good size, tastefully decorated and most face a charming courtyard. I am there twice a month for a week.at a time and its like being at an exclusive mini resort. more

I stayed here for a business meeting, and my only expectations were those from the hotel web site. It said it was a luxury hotel, and seeing that it would fall into the 'boutique' category, I figured it was probably high end (and given the price tag, I would hope so). Overall, I would say it falls short of that... more

As a world traveller, there are certain amenities I look for, and the Garden Court surpassed all of them! From the gardenia placed next to... more

We have stayed at this hotel off and on for the past ten years. The service started going downhill about five years ago and we began using another hotel in the area. I read the recent reviews on TripAdvisor and they were all positive so we decided to give it another try due to it's perfect location in downtown Palo... more

We were travelling to visit family in Palo Alto and chose the Garden Court based on Trip Advisor reviews, its location in the heart of Palo Alto, its historic qualities, and because I didn't want a canned experience like I could find at the nearby Sheraton or Four Seasons. This is a lovely property. Most of the rooms terrace (step)... more

Every stay was above my expectations. The corner suite was magnificent. The fireplace suite was also extremely wonderful. Every amenity I could imagine complete with turndown service. I find it extremely hard to find anything I didn't love-I guess the corner suite has sort of sky lights with no drapes, if you want to sleep in you have to use... more
