Title: November F2F - hotel info
I
stayed on two occasions at the Stanford Park Hotel. It's
really nice, but expensive. I was thinking maybe we could book a couple of
the $725 per night "Stanford Suites" and all crash together. That would be
togetherness! On second thought maybe not. Seriously, just thought
I'd throw it out there. If you're spending Sheraton-class bucks then this
is a nice alternative -- prices are just about identical. Creekside Inn,
on the other hand is about $60 cheaper than either Stanford Park or
Sheraton.
When I
stayed at Stanford Park they were offering a complimentary glass of wine each
evening. That was nice. Also, the pool, spa and workout facility
were nice and underutilized. Downside was that they didn't have their
cablemodems working yet. I just called the hotel and they tell me that the
cablemodems are now working. I'd take that with a grain of salt
though.

November F2F - hotel info
For those planning to attend our next F2F in Menlo
Park I can provide some accomodation suggestions so that we may, if we wish,
coordinate our plans. It has certainly proved to be convenient and more
friendly to try and stay in groups at the same establishments so I thought I'd
circulate a couple of suggestions:
a) for a reasonably priced (completely non-smoking)
hotel just South of Palo Alto. It is about 15 minutes drive to the meeting
place and just 5 minutes from University Avenue in Palo Alto. It is also
convenient for the Stanford Shopping Mall! It is similar to many other hotels
along El Camino but struck me as one of the better ones during my recent stay
there. There are no bars or lounge but there is an adjacent affiliated
restaurant (haven't tried that but it looks good), a small deli and each room
has a refrigerator.
Creekside Inn

b) The Palo Alto Sheraton is even nearer Palo Alto
centre but whilst it offers pretty good traditional US **** facilities it
doesn't have in-room fridges (perhaps you can tell I care about that) and is
usually rather more expensive:
