We were very pleased to find such a comfortable, clean, quiet and well-equipped room at a reasonable price in Palo Alto. The owner was very courteous and helpful and the breakfast was simple and adequate. More

This is the price range of motel where you go because you need a place to stay, not because you expect it to be nice; the most you hope for is no horror stories. The upshot: No horror stories to report, this time anyway. More

big rooms, comfortable bed, very poor breakfast, clean enough, price with coupon from free coupon book, thatvyou can get on every gas station, was like 2/3 of online price More

The first night we stayed in Palo Alto was at the Palo Alto Lodge - HORRIBLE!! Then we found the Oak Motel and decided it was... More

I was attending a workshop at a hotel across the street, but it was very expensive. Through hotels.com I found the Oak Motel Palo Alto and realized it would be a great location for attending the workshop.
