Palo Alto is a cute city with tons of things to do.
Palo Alto is a cute city with tons of things to do. Plenty of food options to eat at, tons of shopping, and events to go to. It is a little bit more on the pricey side but worth the visit. The farmer's market is one of our favorite things to do on Sunday when we visit.ChristianUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
Stanford University was nice.
Stanford University was nice. I spent most of my time in the library, but the architecture was nice. The city is extremely expensive for food. Restaurants were very pricey, and even groceries were costly. There is a lot of homelessness and people living in campers. It is not the nightmare that San Francisco is, but it is tragic to see such affluence and poverty side-by-side.

Palo Alto is an affectionately weird mix of California egalitarianism and Silicon Valley Venture Capitalism. I only come to the city for health care at Stanford Medical Center, which is world class, all the way!GaryUnited States of America - 6.0Scored 6.0

It was a good hotel, very comfortable but if you want a meal in the evening or weekend forget it. The hotel does not serve meals during those times. I will go to the Courtyard next time I am in the area.Thomas Arthur - 10Scored 10

We needed a place to stay close to Stanford and Coronet Motel was perfect. If we need to return, we will definitely stay there again. We were so pleased with the size of the room which included a breakfast table, sofa, desk and private bedroom. It is not new, but very clean and well kept up.BobbyUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0

The Stanford University campus is worth a visit and a guided tour if you can book one. The Baylands nature preserve is a beautiful place to take a walk or just relax. Shopping and eating at the Stanford Shopping Mall with its variety of large and small shops is delightful.

- From $427.80 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 941 reviewsThe hotel is a little gem. Gracious, lovely and full of exciting and interesting antiquities and antiques as well as asian, african and historical art and artifacts. We loved the poolside dining, the pool, the lobby, the bridge and stream with coy fish and ducks. It was great as a get away, relaxing and lovely. Also great for the grandkids who enjoyed the delish kids menus and the pool as well as feeding the ducks, fish and going on bug safaris through the gardens. Wonderful place. Hidden treasure in Palo Alto awaits.
SusanUnited States of America - From $831.88 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 102 reviewsGraduate hotels have such a cute concept. Even our key cards featured celebrities (ours was Tiger Woods and Reese Witherspoon) and their alma maters. Staff were excellent, friendly and attentive from the start. The room was neat, though quite small, and gave a very elevated dorm in an elite institution vibes. We didn't get a chance to explore the rooftop bar, but the restaurant was delicious with even better drinks. Would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in town.JenniferNetherlands
- From $309.61 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 821 reviewsLocation was perfect for us to visit Stanford, and the room was comfortable. The staff was really nice, and offered us waters on arrival and an early check-in. For our one-night stay, it was great and reasonably priced for Palo Alto. The breakfast was better than we expected with make-your-own waffles, good coffee, and a nice selection so everyone could find something they wanted.
