My organization sends me to Stanford a few times each year. I have stayed at several of the small hotels in the area. I have to say this was one of the better choices. It is a very convenient location...an easy block walk to the Stanford Shopping center with many high end shops and great places to eat. Very close... More

I stayed here for a post op visit at Stanford. Parking is included and a dinky continental breakfast. We were on the 2nd floor and there was a huge gap under our door. I had to put my duffel bag in front of it to block the light, but also to keep potential critters out. I liked that the remote... More

We've had to visit Stanford and Lucile Packard Hospitals several times in the past five years and have stayed at most of the motels along El Camino Real in Palo Alto and Menlo Park. Best Western Plus Riviera is our choice to stay if we have a little extra money to spend or during slow periods. BW Plus Riviera offers... More

the staff is very friendly and helpful. I have stayed here weekly for over 2 years, and have watched as they have constantly improved their motel. They've recently put in all new furniture in the rooms. Their most recent addition has been to add new large flat screen tv sets. After a long work day in Palo Alto, I find... More

I had a business meeting in downtown Palo Alto, and all of the city center hotels were priced WAY high. So after looking a little, I came across the Best Western Plus Riviera. This was a clean, conservative, simple and nice hotel. The front desk staff was very pleasant. I had hoped for an early check-in (since I had just... More

This is a pleasant place at a good price for the area. A short drive (or not terribly long walk) to the Stanford campus, and an easy walk to downtown Palo Alto. My only suggestions would be to ask for a room away from the street on the second floor. Mine was close to the street and the noise is... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night after attending a late-starting Stanford football game. The hotel is located just a few blocks north of campus on the main four-lane street in the area. It is also right next to the upscale Stanford Shopping Center. The desk clerk gave us Rm. 107 which was located behind the office and... More
