Looking for a motel?

The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Great hospitality with an excellent location in Palo Alto. Stores and bistros are nearby. A little fitness centre is next to the swimming pool. Easy access to M101 and free parking add more value. Once you experience this, you won’t be easily satisfied in any other hotels.

    I got a GREAT rate. For the money, it was excellent...classic old motel room. But nicely updated and clean. I could see noise being an issue if you had boisterous neighboors.

    The property is a classic Camino Real motel property. The owners have done a very good job updating it and making it "high value" for travelers to the Silicon Valley area. The owners/management take great pride in making travellers welcome.

    I had to go to0 Stanford Hospital for some testing. I had a double lung transplant on Feb. 4th I was pleased with the results I got from the Motel. The rooms were nice and clean. It had a lot more room than most motels., The staff was very nice. I will definitely stay there again.

    It had the best (and most quiet) heater we’ve found in the area. The location is great , and the motel is set back far enough that the traffic noise from El Camino is reduced. It is also very reasonably priced.
