The Spotlight on Leland Hotel

Easygoing Comfort Between San Francisco and San Jose

Modern and relaxed, the Leland Hotel sits conveniently in Palo Alto, nestled halfway between San Francisco and San Jose. With Stanford University just under 2 miles away and a variety of shopping and dining options nearby, this hotel is a solid pick for travelers wanting both comfort and convenience. Free WiFi throughout the property and a peaceful suburban atmosphere make it a great base for concert nights and recovery mornings.

Its central location means you can reach multiple venues with ease—whether you're driving, Ubering, or using public transit.

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, you’re only minutes from some of Palo Alto’s most popular eateries—many of which stay open late. Breakfast spots nearby make it easy to fuel up after a late night. For those looking to grab a bite without going far, delivery services are fast and reliable in the area.

Nightlife Options

There’s no live music on-site, but the hotel’s location gives you easy access to downtown Palo Alto’s bar and lounge scene. From chic wine bars to casual pubs with craft beer, it’s all within a quick ride. You’ll also find intimate jazz clubs and small music venues nearby for last-minute plans.

What People Say

Travelers love the convenient location, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Many reviews mention how surprisingly quiet the area is, making it great for a restful stay post-concert. The free WiFi and proximity to Stanford are often highlighted as major perks.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the hotel is more basic in terms of decor and amenities, and a few mention that it could use some updates. There's also no gym or on-site dining, but for many concert-goers, those aren't deal-breakers.

The Bottom Line

The Leland Hotel is a smart, simple choice for concert-goers who want a quiet, well-located place to crash after the show—without breaking the bank.

Very good

Liked: For a motor lodge, this is as good as it gets. It was clean, very comfortable bed, plenty of space and close to Stanford. There is even a comfortable sitting area outside, we had a beer before we rode our bikes to see Coldplay. There is a bunch of restaurants between the stadium and Leland’s. The price was right and we would definitely stay here again.
Disliked: It was better than expected. The coffee in the room was not good, but Starbucks is a short walk away.

Would stay again but for...

Liked: You can tell it's been recently remodeled which was nice. Cute mini fridges. Somewhat close to Stanford Stadium, about a 40 min walk home after a concert.
Disliked: No human at check in. It's a screen and someone on a camera in another country checks you in. It was interesting but I'd prefer interacting with someone in person. Also, there are ice buckets in the room but when I asked housekeeping where the ice machine was, they told me there wasn't one.
