“This hotel, while centrally located in Palo Alto, presents a mixed experience. Themed poolside cabana rooms and an ample outdoor pool area are definite highlights for families, but reported issues with room maintenance and service consistency give pause; however, the pet-friendly policy, complete with an on-property dog park, is worth considering.”
