Great property and rooms, friendly staff and a surprise was the pizza offered through the hotel. Was in the lobby and asked the woman behind the counter for a recommendation for lunch with a colleague for a work meeting. She suggested their pizza which I thought was going to be some microwaved spongy watery thing. She convinced me to try and it was excellent! Highly recommend the property and if you are in the mood for pizza try the mushroom one.

This was our 3rd stay at this hotel. Very nice location and staff. They offer wine tasting and a nice patio area with outdoor fireplace and comfortable seating. The only issue is there was a small infestation of ants in our room and bathroom - which was on the ground floor. The receptionist said that they regularly sprayed for ants - however we think the ground floor rooms should be regularly checked before guests arrive. And that the ant service schedule is continued on a regular basis. The hotel receptionist did change us to an upstairs room and there were not ants in that room.

Modern motel in quiet location

This is a modern, and very conveniently located motel in a quiet location, just off El Camino Real in Palo Alto. The hot breakfast in the morning was a very nice touch as well. Only complaint I have is lack of sufficient counter space for placing objects inside the room. The one side table was very small and there is no dresser or table to set anything on. There was a small desk in the corner, but there is plenty of wasted space that could be used for some practical furniture. But other than that, everything else is fine especially the bathroom which did have adequate counter space.

modern, quiet, nice, comfortable.

Very nice hotel. we love modern, which this is. MUCH nicer than the hotels near by, which we have certainly tried, so we are happy to find this place. Rooms are a little small, but then the price is worth it. Only real complaint is that they should give guests instructions on how to use the thermostat. That was very frustrating. We will come back.
