The Stanford is very conveniently located. The rooms are big, quiet and clean. However, the lady at the front desk was not welcoming at all when we arrived. She did her job and gave us the information we needed but did not offer a smile or any welcome. Later in the evening I went down to ask a question, there was different woman, and she was pretty much the same--made me feel like I was wasting her time. Lastly, the parking fee was $20. For a very average hotel. This seems a lot to me, and people should be made aware of that when they are booking. So, the Stanford was OK, but not somewhere I would go again.
