Smaller property with excellent customer service. Providing water bottles when we didn’t have to ask. (VERY important for our of state clients who don’t know about California dry weather and water scarcity.) The room was basic but very clean and the cleaners did a wonderful job during our stay. Parking was FREE (totally unexpected), safe, secure, convenient and easy - very important for us as we travel. Will definitely be back.

Needed one night in Palo Alto close to Stanford. The room is large and clean. There is a small fridge and a microwave. The bed was a bit too soft for my preference. They have lots of undgroud parking with a card access for the guests.

Where’s the coffee

Room was nice, elevator was out of commission. No fee parking which was really nice. One drawback. No complementary ☕️coffee☕️ in the lobby. Every hotel I’ve stayed at has had ☕️☕️coffee☕️ service ☕️ in the lobby for its guests. Not here

This is a very nice, quiet, and clean hotel. They seem to be doing some construction or remodeling to the front of the hotel, but signage was helpful. I liked that I was able to park my car safely in the unground garage and easily take the elevator up to my floor. I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant, but it's very convenient. The room was very clean and smelled nice. Huge TV, several streaming services. I liked that there were plenty of outlets and charging stations in the room. The bed was super comfortable. Large bathroom. I think the best part, for me, was how quiet it was. No traffic noise, no noise from other guests or housekeeping.
