    Great stay!

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Motel molto pulito e confortevole vicino a Stanford. Stanze non troppo grandi, ma silenziose, specialmente sul retro della struttura, nonostante la strada piuttosto trafficata di giorno. Microonde, frigo, macchina del caffè in stanza. California Ave. Con ristoranti e CAL train a 10 minuti a piedi. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

    Delightful stay! Great setting for being in the middle of Palo Alto. This is my second time staying here for work. So clean despite being an older property. Felt really cozy and safe.

    Clean and cozy

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    Beautifully updated with unique design details and one of the most pleasant hotels I’ve stayed at.   Also has a modern outdoor patio that makes it a very relaxing area.   Great place for a business stay, nice and knowledgeable staff, very clean and quiet, great location minutes from Stanford University and Cal Ave.  They are still making further improvements.

    Quite and safe

    Definitely not your typical branded box chain with the same look everywhere you go. Well-maintained boutique property that has motel bones but updated rooms that are very clean, comfy, and modern. Overall a great place to rest your head after work!

    No road noise could be heard in my room in the back building except for birds chirping in the early morning hours which is a huge bonus for those business travelers who know of this hidden gem. Other hotels nearby are entirely right on El Camino and no amount of white noise/noise cancelling devises, ear buds, and insulation will solve the issue. This motel and the family who runs are both amazing! Like the saying goes, don't judge a book by it's cover!

    My room was small but extremely clean and well-organized, including a USB port hub on the bedstand. The entrance is on a busy street but the property itself is hidden and quiet. The hotel is run by a very nice and personable family. A good value, especially for Palo Alto. I would stay there again.

    The inside of the room is clean. However no clean up of trash for people who stays many days.

  • Engine customer May 2022

    Cute place, nice little room.

  • Engine customer Nov 2021

    My room was clean, bright and even though not very spacious it was still very comfortable. The gentleman at the front desk was very kind. I liked how through the speaker on the phone they sent a reminder to check out instead of coming to knock on the door. That feature was the best I’ve seen on any hotel as far as check out routines go. If your just passing through town and need a place to sleep comfortably then this is the spot. Very conveniently located too. HThank you Berbeda!
