Excellent price-quality rate. Very clean and comfortable room and bathroom - actually comparable to a 4 star hotel! Also the complimentary snacks and drinks as well as bathroom amenities, the fast wifi and the super friendly personnel were a pro. Good and safe parking in front of the rooms and location OK since restaurants were only 8 min away on foot.

Great location, family owned and run (I think?), quiet, a comfortable bed, clean a refrigerator that worked and wasn't noisy, a microwave (which I didn't use, so this would be good for a short self-catering budget stay in Palo Alto). There's a small pool which I didn't use, but looks well-maintained and a nice arrangement, with a forested ravine bounding the hotel and giving the pool lounging area a surprisingly natural ambience from looking in.
