This was a lovely hotel and a unique experience. We were in town for a family event and I needed a pool! They have a heated, salt water? pool as well as a restaurant with poolside dining and you can enjoy snacks and drinks by the pool. The hotel is decorated with a Thailand/Polynesian motif and two large elephants greet you at the door! The desk staff were very nice and welcoming. There is a koi pond, more like a river, that runs through the property. We enjoyed dinner by the pool and didn’t have to drive anywhere which made it more relaxing. All in all, I really needed that mini-vacation and look forward to the next time we can stay there!

We have known about Dinah's for a long time. It has always been a Palo Alto fixture.
However, we were pleasantly surprised to find the rooms in very good condition with unblemished paint, lovely tile on the floors and shower in the bath and vanity areas, clean and fresh smelling elevators and corridors and very quiet rooms.

The pool area was great with a perfectly heated saltwater pool, great LED lights at night and comfortable lounges, tables and chairs. The bar and restaurant area was
conveniently located just a few steps away.

The tropical ambience, blooming plants and koi pools with ducks was an added highlight. Our family enjoyed our stay and if we were to go back to Palo Alto would book again.

I have named this the tiki bar hotel, I have no idea why they do not have a tiki bar, but that’s exactly what they should have. It’s a fun place to stay if you’re going to a concert there or cancer treatment or whatever you’re doing in the area this is a fun place. They have baby ducks and a million massive Koi fish and it’s got style. Def will be back!

Dinah's is a conveniently located property, with ample onsite parking. I stayed in one of their suites and it was very pleasantly decratated in a southwest flair and the kokopelli scupltures relly pulled the southwestern theme together. I'll definitely be staying at Dinah's for future visits to Palo Alto.

Cool, funky, eclectic place. Great for families. They had copies of the local paper and the Wall Street Journal (much appreciated), though when I checked out at 10 they didn't have the current day. The garden is nice to look at. You can order food and eat by the pool, but the food choices are limited. I appreciated that the receptionist moved my room to the ground level when I wasn't in an elevator building, since I had large luggage. Affordable, too! Lots of history in the place.

Dinah’s was a spot I use to hit up for brunch with my dog park gang-two decades ago. I decided to stay at the hotel for old time’s sake on a quick trip to Palo Alto.

Although the property is now run by the daughter of the original owners, she has kept the spirit of Dinah’s in all the right ways. The nostalgia is there in spades—so much beautiful artwork from her parent’s global travels; but also bright modern artwork and tile in the restaurant that today’s market appreciates. Wifi was great and strong-yay! The staff was understated and hospitable in all the right ways. I truly look forward to returning to this relaxing and nostalgic setting.

I loved the unique outside of the hotel. Was very beautiful. Parking was good. Had a restaurant and pool and gym. Our stay was quick and just over night so we didn't use the amenities so I can't say how they were. The fridge had drinks to purchase at reasonable price. Was a quick easy check in. My daughter and I had a 2 queen room. Very comfortable, open and plenty of room. Really the only bad thing I had to say was I wish the lighting for makeup was better. I did love the small mirror with lighting so it worked out to get ready. I thought it was located in a good location. If I'm in the area agian will definitely stay agian.

We stayed at the Dinah's Garden Hotel specifically because we wanted my wife and daughter to enjoy the pool while I was at work. What we found was absolutely disgusting and unacceptable for any hotel claiming to offer a family-friendly experience.

The hotel allows ducks from the nearby pond to freely enter the swimming pool area. We personally saw duck feathers floating in the water, duck droppings around and near the pool, and obvious signs that the pool hygiene was being neglected. Ducks carry bacteria and germs, and no reasonable guest should have to worry about animal contamination in a hotel swimming pool.

When we raised the issue with management, they completely ignored our concerns and gave the standard excuse that “the pool is cleaned every morning.” Based on what we saw, that was clearly not true or nowhere near sufficient. A pool contaminated daily by ducks cannot simply be “cleaned in the morning” and considered safe all day.

This was not only unhygienic but also extremely disappointing because the pool was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel. Instead of relaxing, my family felt uncomfortable and disgusted. The management’s dismissive attitude made the situation even worse.

I would strongly advise families with children to think twice before booking here unless the hotel takes pool cleanliness and guest concerns seriously.

Funky motel, nice and friendly staff. Paper thin ceiling and walls. Don’t sleep on the ground floor…you won’t sleep. It was cute, but very tired place. My low rating had to do with the lack of sleep because of noise from all angles. Throwback motel, quirky. Could appreciate those guests who love it. Sleep deprivation, dark space, can’t charge to my room at restaurant there, were my reasons for a meh experience.

Room was clean. Booked the Premium King room with Lanai. Upon check in we were given a premium room but it did not have a Lanai. When I asked where The Lanai was they said it was the name of the room and if I wanted a patio you have to reserve a room that said Patio. For a Polynesian branded hotel I assumed a Lanai was a patio so just a heads up when booking. Overall the staff were great, the food was decent and it’s a nice hotel. I would stay again and make sure to get a patio because the gardens are beautiful

Dinah's is unique and uniquely comfortable, quiet despite the location on a busy street. The lush landscaping keeps cars invisible and the windows face greenery instead of automobiles. The pool is very pleasant in warm weather though we didn't use it in March, We recommend the restaurant, good value--we didn't miss the pretty lousy breakfast buffets found in so many motels.

This was a one day stay for work. Hotels were all very expensive probably due to the Super Bowl. But this little hotel offered a decent rate. Check in was easy - allowed me into my room early. Nice people. The room was awful. Smelled of old cigarettes. Bedding was thin and made for minimal night comfort. Upstairs guests were very loud. No sleep to be had. It was not worth the price by any stretch. When I mentioned this at the front desk at checkout the young woman was less than impressed with my sleepless tales.

Now that we’ve relocated out of state, we go out of our way to stay here when we travel back to the Bay Area. Go, swim, feed the ducks and koi. You deserve a break.
