Wonderful place to stay in Palo Alto. Very comfortable room and several great spots to relax, work, etc in the hotel as well.

Fabulous experience at El Prado. Staff was exceptional. The room was beautiful, clean, and quiet. We came for a wedding, and we'll 100% be back again. Kudos!

We stayed at the Penthouse Suite for our wedding weekend, and I would strongly recommend the same for other couples. The hotel is beautiful, both the rooms and common areas, and the staff was extremely thoughtful and considerate during the booking process as well as during the weekend. Compared to other hotels in the area, the price is much more justified by the quality of the experience. I highly recommend El Prado and hope to return some day.

My family and I stayed at the El Prado hotel. It was a fantastic stay and would love to stay there again. The hotel staff was extremely polite, the rooms were very clean, no noise, and a great view of the courtyard. We originally ordered 1 room but opted to get a second room so our kids would have more space to spread out (besides, it would have been difficult for my wife and kids to share 1 bathroom)
The location of the hotel is just off the main street that has several restaurants. We had plans to go to Il Forniao (Italian restaurant downstairs) but we had jetlag and unfortunately, the restaurant was close to closing that night we arrived. I had eaten at the restaurant in the past and it has a wonderful menu selection and amazing pasta.
We took the kids down the street to Salt and Straw (icecream). It's a must if you are staying at El Prado. Get the Cookie dough and Cinnamon icecreams if you go there.
Room service in the hotel was very good. My kids thought the chicken strips and the grilled cheese sandwich were a bit dry...but the tuna was REALLY good (make sure you get the bowl of mixed berries with your dinner...that was also very good) For breakfast we had the omelette and yogurt for breakfast; it was excellent.
I think all the rooms have a view of the courtyard. Ensure you get a room with a balcony. it was nice to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the fresh air.

Gorgeous hotel-- we were trying to rent an event space for weeks/months but the service was extremely disappointing, waiting extended periods for a response from the events/sales coordinator, no contract sent after saying it would be sent several times, etc. We sent several 'hi just checking in on this' emails to try to move the process along and get a response, but eventually we just decided to not risk it with the unreliable service and scheduled our event at a different hotel. Hopefully the service improves because it is a lovely space.
