The hotel is lovely in every way - quiet, super clean, roomy, elegant. We felt like honored guests and enjoyed padding down the hall in our slippers every morning for coffee. Even the balcony overlooking Cowper was wonderful for morning coffee or afternoon wine. Highly recommend!

My girlfriend and I stayed here during Labor Day weekend as a staycation. We chose the el Prado hotel since it's so convenient to be straight in the downtown Palo Alto area where we can just walk to explore all the nearby restaurants (ate at Meyhouse, Urban Momo, Nobu, Rikyu) and shops (Bell's Books). The staff was friendly, gave us suggestions on where to eat, and sent drinking water to our room when we asked. Our room faced their small parking lot and on Saturday night there was a wedding going on but we did not hear much music or noise. The room was clean, AC works, and we would definitely come back in the future. Tips for the hotel 1. Have a drinking water dispenser on each floor 2. The signs pointing to the rooms after getting off the elevator, I suggest changing that to be a range like "401 - 410 -->" and " <== 411 - 420"

Very pretty room, a short walk to food and shops which was great. We went to a concert at Stanford and we could have walked if we wanted. Room was very nice, no room in the mini fridge for our stuff( had to pull out some of the alcohol til we checked out) we don’t drink so a full fridge of alcohol was not a perk for us.
