Pros: We liked the staff & the location. Cons: The handicap shower consisted of one bar to hold on to

Pros: We liked the staff & the location. Cons: The handicap shower consisted of one bar to hold on to. I have difficulty standing & the lack of a shower chair made my shower difficult. Breakfast was sub-par.

Probably would not stay there again.

Pros: The location Cons: The parking lot was filled with boxes which looked like cabinets, window and furniture for a remodel. The rooms definitely needs updating and new paint. The shower stall had fixtures falling off the wall. No elevators.

Incredible

Pros: We loved everything, the fact that we were able to book same day, it was very inexpensive whoch was a huge relief for us and there was breakfast. During our travels our hotel canceled our reservation on our way there because we were going to pay in cash. We put a credit card down for incidentals and to hold the room but it didnt have the full room fee available and when they charged it at 9am and it declined then canceled our reservation. We felt stranded. After looking on bookings we found this small inn and it was a sign. We slept so good on the hard mattress and fluffy pillows and the

Comfortable and nostalgic, Stanford Inn made the trip just that much easier. Thank you!

Pros: Super nostalgic if you’re looking for the Motor Inn vibe. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable of the surrounding area. I loved the little hangout/dinning area with little snacks. Close to Stanford University and we were able to walk to our concert. Cons: Not that it was the right time to go swimming, but I wish the pool was full. Maybe some touch ups around the property and rooms.
