Turn into the (first-come, first-served) parking lot just off El Camino Real and find a 136-room independent property. It’s an oasis with a heated outdoor pool, garden and a terrace for a picnic under the oak trees. Rooms have a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, hairdryer, robes, free Wi-Fi. Two miles from Stanford Stadium, three miles from Stanford Clinic/Hospital, and a 10-minute drive to Shoreline Amphitheater, all your needs can be met here.
