Love the location, very walkable. Parking is nearby and mostly free. Older building, but comfortable rooms. We don't need amenities, just a place to sleep.

Good location but facility really needs an up grade!! Elevators are 16th century — the one existing is shared with house keeping and I ended climbing 3 flights of stairs EVERY time I went to my room!!! Bags and all! The windows are old and need to be refurbished — was on 3rd floor and street noise very audible. Breakfast at Bistro “ quaint” but not up to Palo Alto standards and basic at best.

No A/C when it was 100 degrees in Palo Alto. Only ceiling fans. It’s an old school hotel, which I like, but they should upgrade to A/C. Also, if they put you on the side of the alley, you’ll be greeted with the constant sounds of bottles and trash being emptied. You’ll need earplugs. Location is great.

This is a great location to our office as well as all of the restaurants nearby. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Because we are in downtown area though, noise will come through but it's worth it for the location and they provided us with earplugs if you need it but I was able to sleep fine.

Fabulous location and love the old quaint building. Nice and chill small hotel. Truly my only complaint is that there is no air conditioning so will probably not stay again until it’s a bit cooler weather. The street can be loud and I had to keep windows open to stay cool.

This hotel, like many others, has no AC. So you are forced to either open your window and not sleep due the noise or close it and not sleep due to the heat This is only a winter time hotel

The hotel was in an excellent downtown location, surrounded by restaurants and shops and cafes. Even a Whole Foods just about 5 minute walk away. The room is neat and reasonably sized, and no frills service was just right for me (business trip staying multiple nights). The lack of AC might irritate some travelers (I was fine); and the noise from downstairs restaurants from evening to late night also can be off-putting (I survived it fine but first nights were challenging). Nonetheless I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to people who are interested in a super convenient location and appreciate a historic building. Getting to Stanford campus was a beeeze.

We enjoyed our stay. It is an older hotel that has been updated with a lot of thought and quality work. It has a lot of character for those that appreciate workmanship and features of a more sophisticated, cultured time than 2024.

Wonderful stay, thank you. Charming hotel, staff are very kind and helpful. No AC in the rooms but ceiling fan and desk fan. It’s an old hotel but clean and very well maintained. Will definitely recommend and stay again. Would be nice to have a mini fridge in the room

Nice hotel, in a good location but has no air condition. A property should advertise it does not have air condition on its website and list on your app. Especially in the summer. Very uncomfortable!

The location can't be beat. This is our third time staying at the Cardinal. Self parking in the lot across the street is better than paying $$ at other hotels in the area. Had a corner room this time, which is nice for ventilation, but don't expect views, and the bathroom was tiny. We are early risers, so the early morning garbage collection didn't bother us on any of our stays, but if you want to sleep-in, this could be a problem as there are several restaurants with daily garbage collection in the area.

The location was the best for the price! Loved being around downtown Palo Alto, so for that I would stay again. However there was no AC so that may be a deal breaker for property. The lobby was also very dark
