Small hotel that packs a punch in service. Not your uber resorts, but easy in and out, amble free parking, quiet, clean room and super friendly staff. The breakfast is okay, nothing to write home about, but it will hold your tummy until lunch. Did not get to try the free wine, but each night, guests love to hang around the outdoor fireplace and chat. Only con would be, needs a mini fridge in the room and must keep the black out curtains to prevent unwanted eyes outside. Overall, this is a great place to stay for visiting Palo Alto. The price is right for the nice stay.

Disliked: Amenities
This is really a renovated motel that has the appearance of being modern but really still feels like a motel. The bed comforter felt like tissue paper and had a old stain on it. Cobwebs could be seen in several spots on the ceiling and the sink made weird screeching noises when turned on. The AC unit and fan function worked inconsistently. Breakfast provided in the morning is very small and has ultra processed, over microwaved food. I stayed here for work due to close location and price; however, next time I will spend a little bit more to have my usual comforts.
