We’ve stayed at Prado 6-8x over last 2 years … and it remains our “ go to” in Palo Alto for 1-5 days stays. The rooms are lovely — nice linens, towels, good black out curtains etc - and service is awesome!

10/10 Exceptional

The property is a great boutique hotel. The rooms are large and very pretty and clean. We had a odd smell from the carpet cleaning going on in the hall that made the room smell a bit too. Seemed odd to do it on the weekend. Parking is expensive. The staff is super nice and very helpful. I'd stay here again for sure.
