Hotel Services

The Creekside Inn offers complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, complimentary electric car charging stations, and a 24-hour business center. There are three indoor meeting rooms with up to 1,400 square feet of space, accompanied by an outdoor patio with pool views. The hotel also offers Continental Breakfast (06:30am to 10:30am), a Lobby Workstation with Computer and Printer, and a 24-Hour Fitness Center.

“The Creekside Inn positions itself as eco-friendly, which should signal a focus on conservation, though some experiences, like the need to run water extensively for heat, seem at odds with that promise; even so, the location near Stanford University provides undeniable access. While a grab-and-go breakfast lacks appeal, the outdoor pool and proximity to local dining add value for those exploring Palo Alto. Ultimately, it's a mixed bag.”
