Pros: Was clean, bright, tasteful inside. Location to Stanford is great. Cons: Lack of air conditioning was a problem in the heatwave. With windows necessarily open, nightlife on Ramona St didn’t help sleep.

Great location, but a tired property thst needs an upgrade
Pros: Great location in central Palo Alto Cons: Property is old and dated. Worn furnishings, lack of a proper ensuite (basin is in main room), bathroom door that was hard to shut, lack of double glazing which let street noise in at night, and a bed mattress which rolled to the outside make this property expensive for what it is
Pros: The location was great. I like the option of staying in a room with a shared bathroom. This made the overall cost less expensive. The bathrooms were impeccably clean and welll cared for; I hardly knew anyone else was even on the floor. Cons: If you have a room facing the street it's a little bit busy but once the windows were closed we couldn't really hear anything
This hotel was very clean and the staff was accommodating.
Beautiful and charming hotel. The location was excellent and the room very clean and comfortable.
