Location and Transportation

Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel By Ihg is 3.5 km from California Ave Caltrain and 25 km from Mineta San Jose International. The hotel is less than two miles from the Stanford campus and offers a free scheduled shuttle service to sites within a 5-mile radius. The hotel is minutes from Google, Facebook, Hewlett Packard, SAP, Tesla, and VMware. It is also a short drive from Paramount's Great America theme park.

Services and Amenities

The hotel provides free Wi-Fi in public areas and guestrooms. It offers over 27,000 square feet of event space and a business center open 24 hours a day. The Crowne Plaza Palo Alto is a pet-friendly hotel with access to an on-property dog park. On-site parking is available for a fee of 15 USD per night.

“The hotel's cabana-themed rooms by the pool are a distinctive draw, and the extensive event spaces suit large gatherings; its pet-friendly policy, including an on-site dog park, is another advantage. However, reports of maintenance issues and surprise parking fees give me pause. This property seems best for those prioritizing location near Silicon Valley businesses alongside unique outdoor amenities.”
