Comfortable vibe without chain hotel mediocrity. Reminiscent of long family trips including the warm and friendly staff. I enjoyed the change of pace. Very convenient to Page Mill Rd area of Palo Alto. Con: Didn’t sleep all that well. Noise from El Camino Real & bed needed an upgrade. ##### Wesley Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aerie 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I love this place. As I was checking out, I heard another guest saying the same. You should not expect a luxury hotel. It is a clean, honest hotel in the middle of one of the most expensive places on the planet. What really sets this place apart is the staff. They are so warm and friendly that it immediately sets you at ease. I cannot say enough nice things about this place. Nearly 20 years ago, when we were starting our organization at Stanford, we came here. Over the years, we have always come back. Even as we have grown, this is my favorite place to stay near Stanford. Thank you to the whole team! ##### Aerie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michele 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The bed was not comfortable, the bottom sheet didn’t reach the end of the bed. The toilet wobbled. The fan in the bathroom didn’t work. We had to ask for more clean glasses and washclothes. But, it was quiet. ##### Michele Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gwendolyn 29 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort The hotel is a little run down but it served our purpose.
