The hotel is decent at around 100 USD per night, especially bearing in mind the horrendous quality of all the other properties you can glimpse along El Camino all the way to Palo Alto. However:
1) There seems to be Internet only in one room in the hotel, the VIP business room, which houses a newer TV, DVD player, and a router.
2) Unfortunately, this room faces El Camino and is really noisy - though you can drown the noise with the ancient air-conditioner. The walls are also paper-thin, of course.
3) We had problems with cigarette smoke from staff smoking often right under our window and from the guest(s) in next room who stenched up the whole corridor.
4) After being served for breakfast for a few days, the boiled eggs finally got rotten - taste carefully before eating!
5) They use some weird washing powder to wash the sheets - they had a nasty greasy-hair smell, even after I asked for them to be changed. I could tell they were washed and cleaned, but they did not smell good at all.
6) The carpet and the curtains were quite dirty and shabby, and I can assure you this is so throughout the hotel because we spent some time checking out rooms in the hope of finding one that was quiet (that is, did not face El Camino) AND had (any) Internet, which turned out to be impossible.
Overall, good shot considering the area.
