8/10 Very good

Cute little motel in Palo Alto, excellent location
Pros: * Okay service. Clean. Safe. Top location. Some snacks and water at the reception but limited hours. Cons: * Poor check-in experience, they just don’t like to work after 8pm, no one was at the reception for a long while. Almost left to look for another hotel and cancel Palo Alto Inn booking. * an old building, zero sound insulation, if your upstairs neighbor is walking around in the middle of the night, say goodbye to your sleep. Overall ok motel but I wouldn’t stay here again.

4/10 Fair

Cold all night
Staying in room 119 to my memory. The bed was not really comfortable and the pillows weren’t comfortable either. But what really made the stay the worst was that at night the heater was not working properly. I called an attendant to help but the system still acted sporadically after 20 minutes nothing and then after another 20 only hot air would blow and then upon lowering on the remote one degree the whole system shut off, it never even came back on. They even brought me an additional heater and it overheated and would not turn back on. I was extremely tired to deal with this but I was shivering. I even used the extra blanket that was in the room but I was still cold. The next day the manager told me this was a one off and that he would check the unit. He offered me a discounted stay next time, but I told him I don’t come up to these parts. All he offered was a bottle of wine and I don’t even drink. The only positive for this room was the bath and the shower. Shower pressure was good. As for breakfast included it’s just basically snacks not really a breakfast in my humble opinion. Since I didn’t drink I asked to take 3 popcorns with me for my drive home.

This quaint mid-century motel has been painted and offers very nice accommodations. I found the room to be clean and have everything I need from larger, newer facilities. Refrig was adequate and the bed very comfortable. I liked the tub because so many newer places aren’t putting them in and sometimes you just need a good soak! The office staff was pleasant and accommodating. Great price for a quaint comfortable stay.

I found the Palo Alto Inn to be a delightful throw back. The employees were pleasant and helpful. The location is on a main thoroughfare with close shopping availability. The room was very clean, the bed very comfortable with a refrigerator and large closet. An older 2 story outside style motel, that has been well cared for and updated to include all amenities. I was very comfortable and would definitely stay again.

Great place to stay in Palo Alto.
The Inn is a renovated older motel but very clean and great location for business in Silicon Valley. Price is very fair for this area and included complimentary drinks and even a bottle of wine in the room.
