The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent
"The room was spacious and clean. Parking was free and plentiful. The rate was affordable. Breakfast was good. The only downside was that the toilet ran, but it was not audible with the door closed."

"A pleasant retreat in the middle of Palo Alto offices and business parks. We had an evening event in the area, and we’re headed to Santa Cruz the next day. This was a perfect stop, my son enjoyed the pool in the evening, hotel was quiet, though the doors are heavy and I was woken up a couple of times by neighbor entering/leaving. Gardens are pretty, vibe is calm. Do wish Deli stayed open longer, closes at 6 on weekends. I noticed coffee shops and quick bites are closed on weekends in this area, since it caters to business workers M-F. Brazilian steakhouse on premise if you like that cuisine (we’re vegetarian). Not a deal breaker since we ate at our event, and stopped further down the 280 for breakfast in the morning. A continental breakfast would be a perk. Beds comfy, room in great shape."

The Nest Hotel Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent
"I really enjoyed staying here on a Saturday night. I found parking, the hotel was quiet, I got my key quickly, I loved how I didn’t need any code for Wi-Fi. The rooms have amazing blackout shades that work well and keep 100% of the light out. The two things that they could enhance is the size and quality of the bath towels. In the morning I had free coffee which tasted good. I’m a semi pro coffee bean roaster so I know my coffee. The only thing I didn’t care for was the eggs and sausage, but it’s decent enough and didn’t feel sick to my stomach afterwards. I highly recommend this spot for the quality and price on a weekend."
