We choose this Inn when the reservation clerk asked if we were coming to Palo Alto for Doctor appt at Stanford and were offered a reduced rate. Driving through the entry is a trip back to the days when hotels actually had a motor court. Grounds were cute, reminded me of old Italy. Walking into our room, my immediate impression... More

If you would like well-lit, well-maintained, super-staffed, easy access, under-$100 motel close to Stanford, the Stanford Motor Inn will fit the bill. My experience with telephone reservations was a delight, with the cheery desk clerk offering check-in "as early as you need." When I arrived in California and worked late at my client's, the hotel had held my room even... More

The rooms are nice and the rates are reasonable, but that's true of many small hotels. What sets the Stanford Motor Inn apart is their incredible service. I've only ever dealt with two people behind the front desk (and I've been here over 2 weeks now), and I've never had an interaction with either of them that was less than... More

With my work relocation to Palo Alto my family and I have had nothing but "exceptional" service and accommodation during our stay. The staff really go out of their way to be helpful and make everything as comfortable as possible. The rooms are very clean, the staff very professional, friendly, service prompt. Great place to stay!! More

We stayed at the motel for approximately one week. The rooms were nice and clean and the service and hospitality was absolute great. I can definitely recommend the Stanford Motor Inn. /Ken More

The thing that really impressed me, though, was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff throughout our stay. In particular, after we had left my daughter realized she'd left a necklace in the room; I called and the person at the desk went... More

One of us works in Palo Alto, about a 75 mile commute and sometimes has to stay overnight so we like to make an event of it. Until finding this place, it wasn't always an enjoyable event. Stanford Motor Inn is adorable, kitschy in a good way and fun to stay at. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The... More

I stayed here to try to cut costs for my clients. The positives: Staff at front desk is very accommodating and friendly. They follow through on requests. The bathroom in my room was recently updated for faucets and shower fixtures and they work well - good water pressure. The bathroom was very clean and bright. The room is generally clean,... More

We stayed one night and found it to be clean, quiet, and comfortable. No elevator, so if you are on the 2nd floor, you have to take your luggage up the stairs. The front desk staff was friendly. It's definitely not a resort hotel, but is recomended for being a good place to spend the night. More
