Sad Tale of Two Cities - one not so good
This is a Stay Away motel! My spouse and I stayed at the Best Western "Rivera" (a joke) while he was to visit the Stanford med Center. This "hotel" is hardly that! It is located on El Camino Real highway - the noise day and especially at night is deafening. when asked to be moved to a quieter room, we were moved merely up a level to the 3rd floor to a smaller room with a double bed (they said Queen size - a lie)! and just as noisy. The so-called breakfast (included) was the hardboiled egg type with weak coffee, and cereal and make your own waffles, in the tiny entrance lobby with only room for one family. We had to go outside to eat. The rug in the tiny elevator was filthy. When asked for a discount in the smaller room with one small bed, we were told all rates were the same except for two-bed rooms which were $10 higher. And this was expensive! We would NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN!

The staff was overly qualified and friendly. They were able to fill all my needs and actually moved my luggage from one room to another when I changed from a single to a double bed.Going out of their way endeared me to this hotel and I shall stay there on my next visit to California.

Great Stay, for Great Price
Was attending a conference in Sand Hill Road. Stayed here because it was much cheaper than the fancy hotel hosting the conference. I had a great stay. The room has everything I needed and the people at the front desk were extremely nice and got me the things I requested (shaving cream etc.) She even called a cab for me at 5 am. I also walked to Stanford to take a little tour and walked into the strip in Palo Alto from the hotel. Would definitely stay again.

I've stayed here twice now to attend appointments at Stanford Medical Center. This hotel is conveniently located, clean, the staff polite and the spa & pool are tidy & enjoyable. Although on a main road, it was very quiet and everything in the room worked.
