“The Sheraton Palo Alto makes a solid impression with its proximity to Stanford and Caltrain, though the real draw might be the unexpectedly serene courtyard. Rooms are reliably comfortable, and while service aims to please, the outdoor spaces-particularly dining by the koi ponds-offer a genuine respite.”
