Travel
- By car, from SFO (San Francisco airport) to the Sheraton Palo Alto:

- By train: The Sheraton Palo Alto is located near a Caltrain station,
which can be used to go as far as San Francisco to Gilroy, as well as to
connect to the VTA light rail system. From the airport, however, a rider
needs to take BART to Millbrae, then take the Caltrain to Palo Alto.
Caltrain does not have a station at the airport.
