Nice quick stop spot. Beds were comfortable and the space was clean. Staff was polite. Breakfast offered warm as well as cold options: waffle maker, scrambled eggs, sausages, taters, cereal, toast, coffee and hot water with filtered water dispenser. Shower dispensers were pretty awesome, dispensing pretty good quality shampoo and conditioner. If only they could add body wash in the shower and hand soap at the sink. Bedding and bath lineyn were crisp. Door did not seal well as it let in lots of light and noise. First floor was louder in the early morning with guest foot traffic than we would have liked but I guess expected for local commuters. We would stop here again just ask for a 2nd floor room.

Nice property near Stanford

I come to Palo Alto once a month. My quest for a clean, comfortable, safe, relatively new, and acceptably priced accomodations near Stanford (preferably with some form of light breakfast) has repeatedly left me disappointed. Of the many I have tried, this property comes the closest to my quest .... I will return. Nicely and I am guessing recently remodeled, my room was spotless and cheery. Black out shades also made it a good sleep. Breakfast was the typical, but the eggs actually had flavor and the sausage was tasty. My one disappointment was the minimum number of outlets and absence of any USB or C. This could be resolved with updated table lamps that include outlets so it is possible that is available in some rooms.

The room was quite adequate and met our expectations. Bed was comfortable with nice sheets. The room is very dated and somewhat worn. Motel is in process of updating rooms. We had room towards back so it was quiet. It took 18-20 minutes easy commute to get to Stanford Hospital.
