My new go to place when I visit the Bay Area. Outstanding customer service, rooms are thoughtfully supplied and cleaned.

Wonderful quiet stay as usual. Very clean.

Clean. Nice staff. Had everything we needed.

i chose it for its location, knowing that it was an ancient place. I was very pleasantly surprised with cleanliness, included all amenities, well kept up facility, nice people.

Pro: The Palo Alto Inn was inexpensive and a good value for the money. Our room was clean and comfortable. Con: The bed was not the most comfortable, and the property seems a little dated. Overall, a good stay.

Very clean and pleasant

Mamta Was awesome Checking in She smiled and had beautiful music in the air. Good vibrations filled the air. The room is exceptional clean quiet and comforting. Wow

Excellent room, excellent location just down the street from Stanford. Directv cable with 100 channels.

convenient location, friendly front desk staff, clean and comfortable

Great choice for the price point; room is clean, well maintained, and quiet

Nice hotel close to everything you wanna do. WiFi could need a bit improvement

I stayed here while attending a workshop at Stanford University. I found the location to be convenient to restaurants and easily walkable. The interior seemed to be recently renovated and was kept very clean. The only complaint is the acoustical quality of the complex; it seemed very loud at times with doors slamming and floors creeking.

This location used to be a Days Inn, but has been recently remodeled. My room was clean and reasonably comfortable for 1-2 travelers. There is a free continental breakfast in the hotel lobby with coffee, cereal, yogurt, etc. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful.

Clean looking but when I looked at the bottom of my socks they were black.

Surprisingly very clean. Continental breakfast leaves much to be desired, but I didn't expect much considering how affordable the room was. Would definitely stay again

Stayed one night recently. Front desk staff was very helpful and the room was quite nice.

This motel doesn't look like much, but the rooms were recently remodeled and they are lovely. There are way more amenities than the Sheraton down the road which we stayed in previously. Rooms are spacious. I stayed 2 nights, one on 1st floor in the corner near the stairs, and the next night on the second floor in the same place.
