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.

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 - 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.

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.Reid

- From US$337.89 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 919 reviewsThe staff was excellent. I’m in town for my daughter to have spinal surgery. They held the room for me an extra day when I didn’t know if I needed it. They let me leave my belongings in the room while I was at the hospital for her surgery. When I told them I didn’t need the room, they charged me a DISCOUNTED rate because housekeeping had gone home or they wouldn’t of made me pay at all. These people are incredible and will be my first choice if I ever need a room in Palo Alto againAnthonyUnited States
