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.

    Lots of wonderful restaurants in the area.

    Lots of wonderful restaurants in the area. California Street a little north of the Dinah's is closed to traffic at least on the weekends. Many restaurants along California Street, University Ave. etc. We had dinner at a wonderful Pakistani Restaurant -- Zareen's. good value, very friendly atmosphere. Nearby Stanford Shopping Center, Stanford University. Also plenty to see and do on campus including museum. Great weather.

    Palo Alto, nice neighbour hood which felt safe. I was able to walk from the Caltrain station to the hotel without feeling afraid. Although not much to do in the immediate neighbourhood. Nearby areas like Santa Clara and Hillsdale provided things to do. Great to see the Scharity shop in the area.

    Palo Alto is a great location.

    Palo Alto is a great location. There are several great restaurants near by. I would recommend The Pasta Market, Chef Chu's, Tofu house and the Green Elephant. Touring the Stanford Campus is fun. They have a collection of wonderful Rodin Sculptures. There is always Stanford Shopping mall which has an excellent selection of shops.

    I never knew how beautiful Stanford University was!

    I never knew how beautiful Stanford University was! It is definitely worth a visit. Don't miss the beautiful church and the amazing Art museum. Our hotel was @ a 1 hour walk to downtown Palo Alto, but only a 25 minute walk to the Caltrain station on California Avenue. This street is also like a mini downtown with a few good restaurants and shops. The train ride to the Palo Alto station was less than five minutes.

    I don't know if the price was lower because of the construction in part of the hotel, but I never heard the work being done and It was a fantastic price. The bed and linens are soft and comfortable. The room a good temperature. It was roomy with a comfy couch. The TV worked fine and there were no problems at all. I would recommend this hotel any time.

    This hotel/motel was a great value.

    This hotel/motel was a great value. It exceeded all expectations. Although rated a 2 Star Hotel, it certainly shows itself better than its rating. Plenty of parking. Very quiet although located on the El Camino. Well appointed rooms. Comfy bed, room was very clean, and furnished very nicely. My wife loved the complimentary soft drinks & snacks offered during check-in. No complaints.

    First night stay with a noisy room due to close to two ventilation machines in calling of neighbour building. Change to another room from 2nd night. Overall perspective satisfies with stays despite 1st night. Staffs are helpful to solve the problem, especially Mr. Nitish is very friendly and try to provide solution. Thank you all and I would recommend this hotel to others. Capability of problem solving is top!
