Creekside Inn

For the same price as a Best Western in Palo Alto, you can stay at this great little place. It has all the amenities of a bigger chain (plus a similar style in the rooms themselves), and is probably neater and cleaner, but the stand out thing is it is set in beautiful grounds surrounding a little creek with an old wooden bridge over it. Really lush and green area, right outside your window. Very helpful staff here too. Will be back here again for sure!
