The Stanford Terrace Inn is conveniently located close to Stanford University on lines C and V of the Marguerite shuttle route, a free shuttle operated by Stanford University. Other hotels are also reachable via the Marguerite. To get to the Gunn (SIEPR) building with the "C" or "V" Marguerite Shuttle lines, get off at the Memorial Auditorium/Hoover Tower stop and walk down Galvez St. to the Gunn (SIEPR) building.

   
Airports: San Francisco (SFO) and San Jose (SJC) airports are equally close to Stanford University.


Transportation from & to Airport:

We recommend reserving a ride.
Note: Taxis waiting at SFO, will charge double the meter for a ride to Palo Alto, resulting in about $80-$90.

By Train:
From SFO  take the BART (5 minute ride, $4.00 fee)  to the Millbrae Avenue CalTrain Station. From the Millbrae Ave station, take the CalTrain southbound to the Palo Alto Caltrain Station or California Avenue CalTrain Station (about a 40 minute ride, $4.50 fee). From the Palo Alto Caltrain Station, the Marguerite "Y" line shuttle can take you to the Gunn (SIEPR) Building. From the California Caltrain Station, the Marguerite "V" line can take you to the Gunn (SIEPR) Building. The "V" line also stops at other hotels, including the Stanford Terrace Inn.

From SJC, take the Airport Flyer (free) to the Santa Clara train station, take the CalTrain north to the California Avenue Train Station or the Palo Alto Caltrain Station (about a 30 minute ride, $4.50 fee), and continue with the Marguerite as specified above.


Transportation to Stanford:
We recommend taking the Marguerite to Stanford University if possible, as parking is expensive and somewhat incovenient due to construction.

You can call Yellow Cab at 650-947-1234.
