“Great value for money and friendly staff! Breakfast is included (differential vs the other hotels)”
The hotel is well located, 10 min drive from Stanford and downtown Palo Alto. Our room was spacious and the surroundings of nature really improved the experience - you could hear a few birds singing in the morning. Furthermore, the hotel staff is super friendly! Since the first day of the check in, they were friendly and nice, and also helpful - as I managed to book the wrong check out date and they helped me sort that out. Breakfast was another plus! We were not expecting the variety of pastries, oatmeal and fruits that they served daily - it helped us fuel for the long days we had! I really recommend this hotel and will come back on my future trips to the city.

“A nice hotel”
The greenery is very good and relatively quiet. There are water dispensers and ice makers in public areas. Breakfast is relatively simple, but the taste is still good. Convenient travel and ample parking spaces.

Very comfortable hotel. Wi-fi was spotty at times. It would be nice if the breakfast could be available until 10 or 10:30. Otherwise, very happy with our stay.

“Slept Like a Baby! Great Stay Overall”
The staff were kind—not overly friendly, but helpful when needed. A decent breakfast was included, and although I didn’t get to use them, there were a pool, gym, and laundry facilities (washer and dryer). The room had a microwave, and there was always coffee available in the lobby. Also, the bed was super comfortable—I slept like a baby.
