The website for this hotel is a little misleading - it appears to be some kind of boutique-y hotel - and It's not! It's a really well kept, motel-style accommodation. It's well-located, right on El Camino and walking distance from Santa Cruz Blvd, which has great places to eat and shop. We stayed here over Alumni Weekend and found it a great location for visiting Stanford. Very reasonably priced for the area. The rooms are good - comfortable beds, nicely furnished. The bathrooms are a little dated plus someone put up unfortunate wallpaper in the bathroom which is already peeling in places but those are minor quibbles. The staff are very, very nice and accommodating. No complaints at all, glad we chose it.

We loved staying here on a recent trip to the Palo Alto area. It was nicely maintained and very clean. The breakfast bar was simple but more than adequate for busy people on the run in the mornings. The lobby, inconsequential to some travelers, was small, but sharply decorated. The entire facility looked like the managers and other employees cared about the place and their customers. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. It's more motel than hotel, but well worth the price. Ignore the hater comments. Some people can't be satisfied.

Older property, redone and well maintained. It's an old motor hotel; classic "L" shape with all room doors opening to the inside; parking on the inside of the "L." Rooms were spacious; big flat screen TV, mini-fridge, coffee maker, microwave. Large bathroom, tub / shower combo. Complimentary breakfast in the office area. Staff was helpful and courteous. About 1.5 miles from Stanford University. Very close (walking distance) to downtown Menlo Park, which has many restaurants and shops.

This is an old motel. And not a very nice one. They have slapped a coat of pain on the lobby, bought two new chairs, and put some pictures up on their web site that were definitely not taken here. Do not, I repeat, do not be fooled.
