“I found the location a surprising plus, especially how quiet it was for Palo Alto; rooms include microwaves and decent-sized refrigerators, along with, crucially, enough chairs for two. What stood out most for me, however, was the consistently friendly and helpful staff, who seemed genuinely invested in ensuring a smooth stay; it's a solid choice if you appreciate attentive service.”
