Stanford Terrace Inn, Palo Alto

It was a fantastic experience... because I thought we were going to go to another run of the mill, cookie cutter boring "I need to stay nearby" type of hotel. That is not this place.... this place is like being taken out of the mundane environment and put into a total foreign space... relaxing, calming, and comfortable. Sort of weird really. Booked not knowing much other than a couple cute photos.... the staff is top notch, the breakfast waffle buffet spread was quite enjoyable... and the beds were really quite nice. Firm with some give (for my wife). I slept incredibly well, enjoyed the novelty of their saltwater pool, and was completely taken offguard. A weekend spent working became a relaxing weekend away!!!
