Privately owned motel in Palo Alto on El Camino Real between San Francisco and San Jose, yet quiet and safe with a pool area. Shopping and restaurants nearby. A very friendly motel manager. A good base for exploring the Bay Area.

“Good hotel for the value, in PA, with no frills but just what you need for a short business stay.”

Rooms are large and simple, but in good shape. Parking just outside. Pool in summertime but never had the chance to test it.

“Was fine. Nice pool area. Easy parking. Rooms clean and comfortable albeit a bit dated. Staff ok.”

I liked the seating area around the pool, which was set back from the road and therefore more peaceful.

Rooms were large and clean. Bed was very comfortable

“Cute location, great staff”

Amazing staff! I had a snafu with accidentally booking 2 rooms when I only needed one, and staff were incredibly nice about it. I also accidentally set the checkout date a day too early, and they were really helpful in accommodating me. They location was also very clean, and the cleaning staff were super detail oriented.

“Great value, would definitely stay here again.”

Short drive to Stanford hospital. Clean, safe and inviting property with beautiful lemon trees. Cozy room, comfy bed, nice little extras like lip balm and ear plugs. The property was very quiet though. Man at front desk was helpful and thorough.

“Only stayed one night as was leaving San Francisco the following day. However I would definitely return as it was such”

Everything. It was so easy to access and the room was beautiful. It was so reasonable compared with other hotels in the area and, we would imagine, far superior.

“excellent”

the room, exterior and grounds are nicely kept up - attention to detail - great location.

“Basic Mountain View Motel”

The swimming pool is very good. Free parking close to the rooms. Quiet air conditioning, if rather weak.

“A very relaxing, comfortable, stay. I will definitely book again.”

The staff is very friendly, the property is very clean, well laid out, attractive, safe and quiet, despite being on a main road.

“Lovely stay”

Great location and friendly staff, our room was spacious and very clean, the beds were very comfortable, overall our stay was perfect. We will be back!

The bathroom need to have water splash protection which will help the floor not wet whenever shower.

“Beautiful property, comfy beds, quiet and restful night.”

The beds were so comfortable, and the cleanliness and amenities were top notch. The next door neighbors were making a huge racket, and the front desk called them and asked them to keep it down, which they did.

“Charming little accomodation in a great location. Very much a value for money.”

Exceeded my expectations for cleanliness and comfort. It is an older-style motel but so well maintained that you wouldn't really notice it's age. Clearly, someone takes pride in offering a well-priced and immaculate accommodation.

“Acceptable, and probably par for the course in terms of price/quality in Palo Alto.”

The trees are beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were lovely and helpful. Pool area looked great, although it was too cold to swim so I didn't use it.
