Well-appointed rooms. We liked that there was a lot of light, and they were large enough to unpack and have morning coffee at a small table and chairs. The restaurant was lovely to have on-site. Our check-in was a bit rough and the gal that assisted us was not super friendly.

5 Stars in my opinion! It’s a sweet little spot close to Stanford Hospital and was exceptionally quiet, and very clean and cozy room! Rain shower is amazing, especially after sitting with an ill family member in the hospital all day.

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.
This hotel is really top tier. All the employees, especially the ones at the reception treat you really like guests and not only like customers. The service is outstanding.
The room is very probably the best I've been at a hotel. Everything is very comfortable and very clean. Definitely best bath room ever.
The restaurant is very good, also the pantry is always filled with great food and beverages.
This hotel really lives up to the all inclusive concept.
Thank you for the great time there!
Pros: Very cool people, decent facilities and furnishings. Nice backyard, spare desks and nearby shops add to the value.
Cons: a bit far to California Ave and University Ave and Stanford but anything in Palo Alto And Mountain View within 10-15mins driving or cycling distance.
The cleaners could visit a little more often ;)
Overall, Very high Quality to price ratio, which is what startup founders, visitors and young professionals should resort to :)
Good location (3 bus stops from transit center, most supermarkets ~1 km away, grocery, pharmacy). Room very comfortable. Bathroom was very clean, room also clean. Staff was always there, extremely helpful and polite. Fast internet connection. Price was probably the best compared to other hotels in the area.
+ beautiful design and attention to detail
+ perfect location on University Ave - in the middle of all the cute shops and restaurants Palo Alto has to offer
+ short walk away from Caltrain and the free shuttle to Stanford
+ bikes for free
+ attentive staff who wrote us a darling little card
I like the staff and the location. The staff is always friendly, and the breakfasts are wonderful. Overall, my stay was good but for the price I paid for my trip, I expected a "the little details" to be better attended to.
I am a fellow hotelier so I understand the challenges.
Spacious room in a great location at a reasonable price (for Palo Alto standards). Good quality Nespresso coffee in the room, fridge, iron, good wifi. Clean, quiet room with ample natural light. Seamless check in and check out process including free one-hour late checkout.
Great hospitality with an excellent location in Palo Alto. Stores and bistros are nearby. A little fitness centre is next to the swimming pool. Easy access to M101 and free parking add more value. Once you experience this, you won’t be easily satisfied in any other hotels.
