Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
There was a lot of construction going on other than that room was nice beds were comfortable and so were pillows
Really enjoyed my stay at Comfort Inn Palo Alto! It was kept very clean and we had a very comfortable stay. The hotel is also located near some dining options that are easily walkable.
The property is in a good proximity to the Stanford surgery center. But the room is old. It was a little noisy walls are thin. Breakfast was good. Parking was great.
Good location, centrally located and close to good dining options within walking distance, and well connected to public transportation.

The room was quite adequate and met our expectations. Bed was comfortable with nice sheets. The room is very dated and somewhat worn. Motel is in process of updating rooms. We had room towards back so it was quiet. It took 18-20 minutes easy commute to get to Stanford Hospital.
