My partner and I love how tranquil it was. I really love that they are big on recycling - they had the different bins in the room and they even had them outside the rooms for your convenience too. The toiletries they provide are great! My partner and I usually don’t use hotel toiletries since we carry our own but we ended up using the ones they provided. We definitely will be staying here again if we’re ever in the area again.

I stayed at Dinah’s at the end of May. Check in was easy as was check out. The grounds are cute with a mini resort type feel. There is a small heated pool with about 10 loungers. There is a pool side restaurant with many tables and chairs. The pool side restaurant serves breakfast, also. The chilaquiles were excellent. The grounds have cute little water features and even ducks and koi. The room is spacious. I would stay here again.

This is one of the best extended stays (8 nights) we have ever had at a hotel. The rooms are extremely well-kept, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. In addition, there is an excellent restaurant onsite poolside with equally friendly and professional staff. Also, the hotel is conveniently located within Palo Alto and the parking is free. Great stay.
