Cardinal Hotel Palo Alto Review
Located in close proximity to Arizona Garden, the 3-star Cardinal Hotel Palo Alto offers 44 rooms with views of the inner courtyard. The private Hewlett Packard Garage Museum is placed a mere 800 metres away, and Rodin Sculpture Garden is within 25 minutes' walk of this Palo Alto hotel.
A continental breakfast can be enjoyed at the Cardinal. Food options for breakfast are available at the traditional French Bistro Maxine restaurant. The restaurant serves French cuisine. You can try Cajun & Creole cuisine in a bar which is located very close by.
The property is placed about 30 km from Mineta San Jose International airport and at a distance of 2 km from such cultural venues as Anderson Collection at Stanford University Modern Art Museum. Sports fans can also visit Taube South Tennis Courts Sports Complex, at a distance of 2 km from the Cardinal Palo Alto, and take their families to Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo, which is nearly a 25-minute walk away.
There is El Palo Alto Park just 13 minutes' walk away, and Palo Alto Transit Center bus station within minutes of the accommodation.
Together with a separate toilet and a bath, the private bathrooms have towels and slippers.
The Cardinal Palo Alto goes the extra mile to provide guests with yoga classes to help them stay fit. A wellness area is sure to make for an excellent stay.
