    Near railroad tracks, and big dumpsters, resulting in big noises, which were especially disruptive in the early morning.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I would not stay here. The towels and sheets were not clean. I could not get my room changed because no one was answering at the front desk. Even for a budget motel this bad.

    Parking was available and close to shops

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Good enough for an affordable stay. Midway between SFO airport and Palo Alto where Stanford U located. Very convenient with lots of shops around such as Trader Joe. I will stay there again.

    Air was good.

    I tried setting up my laptop in the room. There was no power outlet next to the small table that was squeezed between the AC unit and the bed. I needed to work, so I began rearranging the furniture in the room to get access to the outlet. This is where it got bad… I moved the bed and under it there was a large amount of yellow powder strewn on the carpet. Insecticide/repellent? I went to the front desk and showed her a picture of the powder that was strewn under the bed and told her I was concerned about this powder, and this room condition was unacceptable. She said “oh that’s just to deal with the bugs.” (*Stunned they admitted it casually). I was right about what it was! What if someone’s kids stay in the room and are on the floor getting exposed to it?? I told the staff that I needed a room change or I would be canceling my reservation with Expedia immediately and filing a complaint. They gave me a bigger room. (*Wish I did) New room had: - no shampoo or conditioner - paper bath mats - <12” of clearance between bathroom door and bed - burns on comforters - fridge door didn’t close -dirty towels were consistently stacked outside my door on a chair

    Clean room, accommodating staff, great location. I stayed for over a month looking for an apartment. I was very comfortable. I would recommend.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    What really upset me though is that she told me explicitly to call Hotels.con and she will refund it bc they hadn’t charged me yet. I do so, she told th she wouldn’t, and the. Ghosted me on follow up calls. This was all outside in the rain at 8am. These people are awful, take the off your site:
