Top Palo Alto Hotel Reviews

The Nest Hotel Palo Alto

The Nest Hotel Palo Alto

8/10 Good
"It was a nice and clean property. The rooms have a hair dryer and ironing board which makes it easy to do whatever you need for the day. I wasn't aware that there was no elevator and it was a pain to lug big bags up and down stairs. They should make it clear. The last day the water went out and there was no way to take a shower. They put up a sign in lobby expecting people to read it but they could have come around and put one on each occupied room. The phones don't work to call reception either. It was decent and a good price given the area and the comparable options but nothing great."
