Was looking for a hotel in Palo Alto for a one day business trip. This hotel was a perfect choice. Located in the heart of downtown Palo Alto with easy access to food and entertainment.

Well situated hotel in Palo Alto. Rooms small but clean. Staff helpful and friendly

I stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights while visiting Stanford University. The hotel has an excellent location, one block to everything and a couple of blocks from the train station and the shuttles to Stanford. The cost of this hotel provide the best value in town if you are on a budget or want to spend your... More

Hands down the best value for Palo Alto: nice hotel rather than motel; can't be more central; great style with food options all around. Will be back many times!
