A list of nearby hotels in the area is available at: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/hds/chs/general/hotel.html.

The Stanford Terrace Inn is a nice hotel located adjacent to the campus, and many of the other Palo Alto hotels are also good choices. The Stanford Terrace Inn should provide you a slightly reduced price if you tell them that you are attending a Stanford University workshop.
