Hotwire Hotel: 3* San Jose (Palo Alto-Menlo Park) Creekside Inn

[tmeylor]

I have been checking out the results on PRICELINE for the Palo Alto-Mountain View area. I don't see any results for a 4* hotel. It seems like the only option that would be available is the Stanford Park Hotel in Menlo Park. Is this accurate? Have you heard of any successful bids for a 4* in this zone? Would like to stay as close to Stanford University as possible. I see the 3 1/2* Westin is a possibility, but didn't want to risk getting Dinah's Garden Hotel.

There have been no 4* hotels reported to the board in this zone.

Since location is important for this stay, have you tried searching HOTWIRE to see what is offered there? You may be able to figure out th hotel being offered based upon th amenities shown before the purchase and then have an educated guess just how from the Univesirty the hotel is locataed.

You can also use MAPS and HOTELS.com to see hotels offered in the area and their distance to the University.

Let us know what you decide to do for this stay and/or if we can be of further help.

PS- Please follow-up your previous Hotwire Long Beach thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay.

I updated the Long Beach HOTWIRE thread.

I was hoping someone could help me identify the 3* hotel I mentioned earlier in Palo Alto - Menlo Park on HOTWIRE.

No evidence of a downgrade yet, but best guess is that thi is the Creekside Inn, downgraded since the last time it was reported at the 3.5* level.... the amenities match the previous amenity combination used and the tripadvisor info shown by HOTWIRE is consistent with this property too.

Thank you for your assistance. I got the Creekside Inn in Palo Alto for 2 nights for $69 per night (11/27/09 - 11/29/09) on Hotwire. Total amount was $159.67 after fees and taxes. I am very happy with the results.
