Stayed here three nights while daughter at Stanford Medical and service was excellent, rooms very clean, good bed. The owner of this Inn went above and beyond to accommodate me for extra nights that were not expected. Would recommend this Inn to anyone.

The room was clean and comfortable. Parking was very good. The continental breakfast was packaged pastries and coffee-machine coffee. Some fruit and fresh brewed coffee would make it much better. The staff was very friendly.

Old school Palo Alto. This motel's probably been here for 60 years. But the lady was nice at the front desk and the room smells clean

Stay in Palo Alto
Great stay in Palo Alto-close to the sights and parks of the area for family entertainment and then the concert at Stanford. For the overall cost, the property was great and quiet and we appreciated the drink service in the lobby area and free breakfast.
