PROS - - Staff at the front desk and room service are very courteous and attentive - Lobby appearance is very clean and neat - Room was newly renovated, clean and very nice CONS - - Construction was going on during the weekdays; though really not that annoying; but definitely noticeable - Would like to see more Pet Friendly rooms...

Yes, it has style from a bygone era, but at the end of the day, it is a motel with exterior doors on an outdoor walkway.The bathroom didn't have a vent fan, so you needed to open the window to get rid of the steam, and reaching the window required standing on a stool, not something I'd recommend for an...

I booked a deluxe room. When we saw our room we noted there was construction outside. I spoke to the front desk and asked to be changed. They told me it wasn't necessary because the construction is completed. We checked in on the weekend. On Monday the noise and smell started. We checked out the next day and complained. We... More

I stayed in the hotel for 6 nights on a business trip. The staff is very friendly and helpful in the hotel as well as in the restaurant. The rooms are absolutely clean and my room was very large.

The room was not well cleaned, the rug was tired, old and very stained. The bed was old and too soft. The pool had much plant debris... More

Have stayed here the third time and it's gotten better every since. Make sure to get a Room in Building 6 (or any other renovated Building) and you'll have a excellent stay. Great mattress, shower, large room and nice staff.

Dont be fooled by its innocuous appearance from El Camino Real, the hotel is a really nice place. Rooms are large and thoughtfully furnished. I stayed there for 3 nights after having stayed on almost every other hotel in and around Palo Alto and I really liked this place.
