Will be going to Stanford for a medical consultation on Quarry Rd. Nedd accomation. Don't need amenities such as a gym or pool. Any suggestions ? Thanks.

Luxe or not? The three most upscale hotels in the area are the Four Seasons, Stanford Park, and Rosewood, all of which are within a couple of miles of where you’re going. I’m not sure below that level but I’ll give it some thought.

Bedar

Thanks, sf7307. No, not luxe. My husband is from the general area, Hillsborough, so we know the lay of the land and don't need to be right in Palo Alto. Just need a clean, safe, pleasant place fairly convenient to Quarry Rd. which is off the Camino. No sightseeing involved. We live in Reno, but that's a 5 hr. drive. Just need a spot to crash.

Ok I’ll give it some thought. I assume you will have a car? (BTW, we lived in Burlingame from 1986-2012)

Bedar

Yes, we'll have a car. My husband lived there from 1948 to 1959, a lot earlier than you, but attended BHS. Thanks for your help !

My kids went to BHS - 2003 and 2005.

I know there is a Comfort Inn on El Camino Real which is less than 5 miles from the hospital. It should be cheap.

There's a Residence Inn closer to Mountain View that is perfectly fine. There's a Sheraton right at the intersection of El Camino and University Avenue very close to the intersection of El Camino and Quarry Road. There's a Best Western a little farther north on El Camino. I'd probably go for the Sheraton if the price is right for location - very near your destination, and you can walk to University Avenue/downtown for dinner.

Bedar

You all have been most helpful. Thank you SO much ! Yes, I think we'll go with the Sheraton.

I might actually check with the hospital social worker department to see if there are discounts available, or any other options for housing nearby. I know the UCSF here in San Francisco has a list of B&Bs catering especially to patients families, as well as hotel discounts for some of the local chain hotels.

Bedar

Good idea, Newtome ! Will do.

We stayed two months ago a couple of nights at the Residence Inn on El Camino -- for the Stanford/Cal "Big Game". Got a good price and includes free parking. The room was large and very well appointed, and, of course had its own kitchen. Wifi and breakfast included.
