We stayed in a standard lanai room. The first night (a weeknight) was fine, though one of the closet doors was falling off the hinges, the road noise was noticeable (El Camino Real, AKA SR82, has six lanes–three lanes of traffic in each direction), and the room door slammed shut. In the morning, though, I woke up with a bug... More

This was a very friendly and clean hotel. We were happy to be upgraded to a mini suite for our stay. They gave us bottles of water upon arrival and small snacks. It was very quiet and loved the comfortable bed.

Seldom have I stayed in a hotel with such delightful staff, smiling, helpful, in the most genuine way. Shuttle service is quite reliable, many places close by. Breakfast was tasty with great selection of fresh fruit, local cheeses, and the usual breakfast fare. I will return next time in the area.

I didn't love the crown plaza, but I liked it enough to give it a good review. I prefer the Westin...well the Rosewood in menlo park is really my fave...but both are pricey and I felt Crowne Plaza was a good value. Clean and comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. A nice touch...an aromatherapy pack from a UK company called Temple... More

The Crown is definitely one of the best in the area. Some of the hotels around Palo Alto and Sunnyvale hotels can be a bit like holiday Chalets. So this one is definitely one I'll be visiting again. It's a good hotel for a business trip. Restaurant/bar areas are welcoming. Didn't have time to use the pool, but the pool... More

My wife and I spent the long Easter weekend in Palo Alto which was deserted since spring break had just begun. The Crowne Plaza Cabana is centrally located on El Camino Real. Hotel parking was always adequate. Front desk person was pleasant and professional, and upgraded us to a 2-room junior suite based on my wife's frequent flyer cards. Our... More

Stayed here one night on college visit to nearby Stanford. Clean, centrally-located, friendly staff. Beds are comfortable. Toiletries are good quality. They give a little sampler of products from the spa which is a nice touch. Doors could be a little more soundproof; you can actually see light around the door and hear everything in the hall.

My company, headquartered in Palo Alto, put me up at the Crown Plaza Cabana Palo Alto for 8 days. The location and staff are two key attributes of this hotel. The front desk staff will make sure you're welcomed and taken care of during your stay and will be very helpful in guiding you to points of interest around town.... More

This hotel is typical four-star business travel/conference style. If you're staying here, it's probably for one of those two reasons. Definitely in good condition and clean. Some might call it a little dated, but it didn't appear old in anyway. I'd definitely recommend it at the right price, but there's no reason to pay extra to stay here if another... More
