“The Creekside Inn impressed me as more of a boutique hotel than a simple motel, its setting along the creek providing a surprisingly peaceful escape. I particularly liked the option to upgrade to a creek-side room; the sound of the water and the sight of ducks create a unique sense of place. For anyone seeking a convenient and comfortable stay near Stanford, it's certainly a smart choice.”
