Everything was beyond our expectations. Check-in was quick and smooth, and they even helped us with valet parking. The room was nice and clean, and the housekeeping lady was very responsive. The food was delicious, the snacks were high quality, and the coffee was amazing.

Lots of wonderful restaurants in the area.

Lots of wonderful restaurants in the area. California Street a little north of the Dinah's is closed to traffic at least on the weekends. Many restaurants along California Street, University Ave. etc. We had dinner at a wonderful Pakistani Restaurant -- Zareen's. good value, very friendly atmosphere. Nearby Stanford Shopping Center, Stanford University. Also plenty to see and do on campus including museum. Great weather.

Palo Alto, nice neighbour hood which felt safe.

Palo Alto, nice neighbour hood which felt safe. I was able to walk from the Caltrain station to the hotel without feeling afraid. Although not much to do in the immediate neighbourhood. Nearby areas like Santa Clara and Hillsdale provided things to do. Great to see the Scharity shop in the area.

Palo Alto is a great location.

Palo Alto is a great location. There are several great restaurants near by. I would recommend The Pasta Market, Chef Chu's, Tofu house and the Green Elephant. Touring the Stanford Campus is fun. They have a collection of wonderful Rodin Sculptures. There is always Stanford Shopping mall which has an excellent selection of shops.

I never knew how beautiful Stanford University was!

I never knew how beautiful Stanford University was! It is definitely worth a visit. Don't miss the beautiful church and the amazing Art museum. Our hotel was @ a 1 hour walk to downtown Palo Alto, but only a 25 minute walk to the Caltrain station on California Avenue. This street is also like a mini downtown with a few good restaurants and shops. The train ride to the Palo Alto station was less than five minutes.

I don't know if the price was lower because of the construction in part of the hotel, but I never heard the work being done and It was a fantastic price. The bed and linens are soft and comfortable. The room a good temperature. It was roomy with a comfy couch. The TV worked fine and there were no problems at all. I would recommend this hotel any time.

This hotel/motel was a great value.

This hotel/motel was a great value. It exceeded all expectations. Although rated a 2 Star Hotel, it certainly shows itself better than its rating. Plenty of parking. Very quiet although located on the El Camino. Well appointed rooms. Comfy bed, room was very clean, and furnished very nicely. My wife loved the complimentary soft drinks & snacks offered during check-in. No complaints.

The location was unreal. Right in the center of the woods, and the skylights were amazing at daybreak. The drive from Palo Alto was impressive. The winding roads and hills led us right to a quant little crossroads where you could find convenience store, and 2 dining options.
