Plumbing problem

Quiet setting and adequate room but bathroom a problem. No water pressure sink and TOO MUCH water pressure shower with only a half glass panel to block shower was inadequate and water went all over bathroom floor so a mess and dangerously slippery!! Told desk but nothing fine to adjust it. Offered to change rooms but not on vacation to pack up and move to another room with same bathroom arrangement. If they had upgraded us to room with complete shower panel we would have changed!

This is such an incredible hotel and property! Extremely undervalued. Very nice, completely remodeled & updated, safe and amazing friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend this hotel. I flew from Oregon with my 11yr old son for an appt at Stanford. I felt completely safe and even forgot a hairbrush of all things!! My son was sick and the front office staff graciously gave me a new hairbrush free of charge… it is the little things that make a difference. I almost did not book this hotel (we stayed for 3nights) because of some bad reviews.. I was just shocked at the bad reviews vs. my experience. If people are expecting the “Four Seasons” resort, than they need to be prepared to pay those fees! Creekside was excellent and since my son was sick and not feeling good - sleeping and snoring in our rental car, they were gracious enough to allow us a very early check in time. I’m grateful for all of their kindness. We will always book this hotel for future drs appts… thank you very much.

The carpet was dirty and there were floored hovering in the room. Slept one night and left the next day. I shouldn’t have had to pay even for the few hours that I slept there with no choice. Great inconvenience! I would not recommend it to anyone.

I reserved a multiple beds room it showed 3 double beds and a sofa bed on the list when I ordered. However when I get the room it only conmes with 2 double beds and a sofa bed. I asked them why they told me they don’t have any 3 double beds room I was not happy about that but nothing I can do on that day

Serene area among plants, trees, and cozy outdoor seating in nature. Enjoyed the soothing fountain, flowers, bridge, simple breakfast of pastries, yogurt, tea, coffee, and fruit. Enjoyed the balcony and space with couch. Great to have available water dispenser for water refill 24 hours. Thank you. We booked it again, conveniently located close to stores, dining, freeways, and Stanford. Thank you wonderful staff!

Loved the hotel on our first stay a couple months ago. This time we stayed in The Tierr/Building A. Our room was fine. Check in fine. B-fast find. But, what ever product they used to clean the hall way and common area of Bldg A stunk - atrociously! Like a cheap, overly bad bn perfume y stench. Completely killed our stay. Used same product on the throw pillow in our room which we used along with the robes to li r that doorway to keep the smell out. It was bad
