Cardinal Hotel Palo Alto

Palo Alto, United States View on map
8.2 Very Good Based on 265 reviews
Editor's Pick

"Rooms feature sound machines and fresh finishes within a historic 1920s building. An Italian restaurant occupies the ground floor. A strong choice for downtown visitors, a poor one for anyone relying on air conditioning."
