The Palo Alto Inn was super clean and the check in was smooth. I was afraid that it'll be noisy as it was a near a somewhat busy road but it was so quiet at night and I really liked the finishing touches of the place. I never really stayed in an outdoor inn/accommodation before I was worried about security/safety but everything felt safe and secured. I liked the free water and the free snacks at the front desk, overall, it exceeded my expectation for the price I paid.

The room was so cozy. The balcony is perfect because you can sit and listen to the trees and water moving. It's so peaceful. Bed was cozy, and I didn't want to leave. The breakfast was simple, but perfect. Would recommend.

    Excellent price-quality rate. Very clean and comfortable room and bathroom - actually comparable to a 4 star hotel! Also the complimentary snacks and drinks as well as bathroom amenities, the fast wifi and the super friendly personnel were a pro. Good and safe parking in front of the rooms and location OK since restaurants were only 8 min away on foot.

    Good location (3 bus stops from transit center, most supermarkets ~1 km away, grocery, pharmacy). Room very comfortable. Bathroom was very clean, room also clean. Staff was always there, extremely helpful and polite. Fast internet connection. Price was probably the best compared to other hotels in the area.
