Old and poor service
This hotel is old, not renovated and probably has the standards of a 3* hotel with the price of a 4/5*. The service is just not available for anything you need from a hotel. This is a motel. Don’t expect more despite the price of a regular good hotel.

Pleasant little oasis
Super pleasant little oasis in the middle of Palo Alto. The hotel has been well maintained and updated, and the gardens are beautiful. Our room and bed were really comfortable and had all the amenities we needed.
