    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!

    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.

    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.

    The 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 again

    This hotel is very lovely and has a lot of personality. The gardens are beautiful, you see ducks and hummingbirds regularly, and it’s very peaceful. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. The pool area is cute and the restaurant around the pool is nice. The room itself is big and comfortable. The bed is very comfy. Would definitely stay there again next time I need to go around Palo Alto.

    John and Briana at the front desk were amazing , kind and very professional. The hotel is perfect for the price and location. My room was nice , clean and modern with a good TV set. Keep in mind this is not a luxury hotel. It’s great for the price and I feel they have attention to detail and great service. ( Coffee at the lobby is fantastic).

    Lee at the front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Great location for apartment hunting near Stanford. Within walking distance of a few eateries and coffee shops. The king suite was very spacious with a nice desk, armchairs, and small table in the room. The room also had a mini fridge and microwave. We enjoyed the budget stay.

    The location was unreal. Right in the center of the woods, and the skylights were amazing at daybreak. The drive from Palo Alto was impressive. The winding roads and hills led us right to a quant little crossroads where you could find convenience store, and 2 dining options.
