It had a refrigerator and microwave, I really like that. It had a reasonable price for the room, that was my reason for choosing it.

I loved the cohesive color palette in my room. Decor was obviously given thought with the muted blue paneled walls and Allen + Roth bathroom hardware. The plants and flowers decorating the outside walkways was very soothing. The staff were friendly and communicative both pre, during, and after check in. Given it's proximity to Stanford and public transportation, I'd definitely stay here again.

The bathroom is a little outdated and has the basics to stay for one evening if all you need is a place to stay. Receptions closes at 10:00pm (maybe earlier, I don't remember). But there is a number to call for late check-in if needed.

  • Coronet Motel

    Motel in Palo Alto
    Avg. price/night: $183.65
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.4
    Very Good - What previous guests thought, 744 reviews
    We've stayed in many hotel/motels in the Palo Alto area over the years. We chose the Coronet as it was closest to the Palo Alto High School Graduation ceremonies. I was a little concerned as the price was so much lower than we usually have to pay in the area. However, what a delightful surprise! It is well staffed, perfectly maintained, comfortable, quiet, free parking, and even a small pool for a dip after a long hot drive. Grab a room if you are looking in this area.

    Friendly staff, clean place, convenient location if you attend Stanford Uni. Complimentary juices/soft drinks & baked goods were a nice touch (super processed & sugary though - perhaps an apple & banana would be better?). Real US motel experience like in the movies, if that's what you're looking for. Just waiting for someone to kick the door in wielding a shotgun.
