    I was able to park right out in front of my room downstairs. The room was very clean but a little outdated. Rooms could use some renovations. Rooms were a little outdated. Rooms need to be remodeled and updated.

    This is a modest motel with some odd inconsistencies room to room. Whatever, the big plus of Oak Motel is its location location location. Nice little swimming pool too.

    Very good

    The breakfast was nothing special.

    The air conditioner wasn’t working.

    The location on El Camino is extreme convenient and near restaurants and all that Palo Alto has to offer. You can’t beat the price of this motel in expensive Palo Alto. The room is well equipped with kettle, microwave, refrigerator and shampoo and coffee. There is a buffet breakfast in the morning, which I have missed in the past. There is also a pool and free parking with plenty of space. (Some El Camino motels charge for parking) I have stayed here several times, so I must be satisfied. The key card is hard to use sometimes.

    Pleasant.

    This is a very budget motel that is basically no more than a bed and bathroom. It's clean, but there are signs of aging everywhere from the toilet, shower, curtains, bedding, furniture. The room had a very large new TV. Check in was fine, but the lady was more interested in her phone call than in answering any of my easy questions about check out and breakfast. Breakfast was ok, mostly packaged breads, halfway decent coffee - served European style on a small buffet in the lobby room. Lots of parking outside, and the A/C worked well. This motel is a fraction of the price of others right across the streets, so it you are willing to accept that it's clean but not very nice, it's a good budget option in the area.

    Staff is very friendly! No problems!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It was clean and well maintained. Not too far from Stanford stadium. The check in desk was super friendly and even let us check in earlier. While the place was clean it did have a pungent smoke smell. Which was not ideal

    No problems!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The staff was very helpful, friendly, and understanding when I had issues with the key cards and retrieving personal items from the room that I had forgotten. I was grateful to have received an upgraded room on the lower level. I enjoy staying here more than where I am living. Carpet is always better, when available.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    So the bathroom is all little dated but the surrounding area is great and the place is quiet. There was a giant 65 in tv in the room so if you like to watch tv this is the hotel for you.

    Pleasant

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The room was nice and comfortable for the night. The location was not that bad, it was a really good location. The A/C was amazing at night it was a really good temperature. One thing I didn't like was the room wasn't ready when we got to the hotel. We wanted to get ready by taking a shower but the bathroom wasn't clean yet, the trash wasn't taken out, they told us to wait 20 minutes and we did but the room still wasn't ready.
