"The Cardinal Hotel is the perfect location in Palo Alto. Within walking distance of anything you might need (e.g. restaurants, bars, Stanford campus, etc). The hotel was very clean and had the old California 1950s/60s vibe. The original elevator was a plus and such a throwback, but fully functioning and added to the charm. Staff was very helpful and friendly. My only takeaway was I wish there was air conditioning. A ceiling fan just isn’t enough for me, but I do understand with the age of the building and keeping the character it’s not always possible to have installed. I highly recommend this hotel and would absolutely stay there again!"
