2-Star Hotels in Palo Alto

This is the second time I stayed at this hotel. Basically I chose it because of the affordable price and the proximity to Stanford hospital. If you are wanting a hotel that is quiet, this is not the place. The rooms open to the outside and is situated off a very busy main thoroughfare. I must say, they have done an admirable job of updating the bathroom. You can still tell where the old and the new meet but still very nice. This is supposed to be a hotel with non-smoking rooms but as soon as I stepped into my room, 203, I was smacked in the face by the smell of rancid cigarette smoke that must’ve been absorbed into the carpet. Even though the bathroom had been updated, I can’t that the bedroom area has been with torn curtains, old furniture and a refrigerator that was so loud at times, I had to unplug it. And then there is the carpet. It wasn’t dirty but very smelly. This is where the confused part comes in. When I checked out the next morning, there was a couple behind the counter. I am assuming they may be the owners. I mentioned that the room smelled awful and that it may be from the carpet. It smelled of stale smoke. I wasn’t pissy about it. Just mentioning the facts. They asked which room it was. I told them and the man seemed to be writing it down. Then the woman says to me there is no carpet in that room. Huh? I told her there is. Then the man said no, there is no carpet in the room. I told them I just came from that room and there definitely is carpet in the room. They continued to argue with me. Seriously? Whatever. I just turned around and left. They do have a free breakfast but I didn’t want to stick around for it.

The location is next to Stanford. Breakfast is included, which is simple and nutritious. The lady at the front desk is very nice! It's just that the pre-authorization is very slow to be canceled and it takes 15 working days. It has not been canceled yet.

This is an old-fashioned motor inn in the heart of Palo Alto. It has pet friendly rooms for $30 extra, which is cheaper than other places we looked at. The room was small but sufficient, and was very clean. The bed was comfortable but the pillows pretty flat.. The staff were friendly. The location was in walking distance to restaurants. There was no breakfast to speak of, just prepackaged pastries. If you have a dog, you have to walk a couple of blocks to get to some grass. All in all this was a great place to stay on our trip.

The hotel is very nice, the clean room is also very big and the free breakfast is very good. It is worth it. The hotel is very expensive. This price is already a good choice.

It takes about seven or eight minutes to drive to Stanford. The room is very spacious and the space for activities is large. The boss is very enthusiastic. Before we checked in, we turned on the electric heater and the TV was switched to the Chinese station. You may know that we are from China by looking at the name of the order. Fair, if you need hot water, talk to the front desk when you check in. A kettle is provided and parking is free

This hotel is less expensive than most in the area, so my expectations were quite low prior to arriving. I was therefore surprised when the room was better than I anticipated. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the pillows were fine. On the negative side, the towels were disappointing because they tend to repel rather than absorb water. The shower head was strong, but the bathtub floor was quite slippery. The shampoo dispenser in the shower was empty, requiring me to go to the front desk for shampoo. The room had an “old” smell when entering at first, but that dissipated after being in the room for a bit. Breakfast was adequate, but lacking better fresh fruit selections and sugar free yogurt and cereals. Overall, the hotel provided what we needed which was a comfortable place to sleep in a convenient location, at a better price than most hotels in the area. The staff were all pleasant and accommodating. In summation, the hotel was better than expected, but not quite up to snuff. I don’t know if I would stay there again, and would rather pay more at another location for better accommodations.

Very good stay experience, first of all, the surrounding environment is very comfortable, is the center of Palo Alto, but not the big city of San Francisco, called downtown, there is a main road, beautiful and prosperous. Stanford University is right next to me, I go to the campus every day. It’s much more comfortable than living in downtown San Francisco. The breakfast was very good. The room is comfortable and quiet. The only downside is that the room is small, but I don't mind this.

We had to come to town for appointment at Stanford. We had no idea where we were going, but this quaint, friendly, little motel was perfect! Lovely garden area to sit in and relax under the tree, breakfast brought to your room at your appointed time, pool. We will definitely be staying here every time we come to Stanford. Don’t want to give away our little gem. Very special place

It's a pretty hotel and the staff was very nice. Because it's older, there is no A/C (ceiling fan though) and it felt hot and stuffy. The room was kinda small. The bathroom, while clean and pretty, very small with no counter space. The location is central in a super location. My price included breakfast in the bistro attached. It was tasty but what a hassle to order. You have to go through this process with the QR code and such and order completely through the app - no personal service to simply take your order. It work5s be very difficult if you weren't familiar with this type of thing.

Breakfast is very simple. There is only one coffee table and sofa in the room. There is a parking room. The room smells. It may be a smell. There is hair on the bathroom towel. It may be because it is cheap. The occupancy experience is not good, but it is really cheap compared to other local residences.
