Dirty and disappointing - avoid! After arriving and checking the sheets I went to sleep due to jetlag after long travel and work. I woke up in the night and discovered a dirty sock, and that the floor clearly hadn’t been cleaned due to the state of my clean white socks. On going to make a coffee in the morning, I discovered that the mug was sticky and dirty. A clean room really is the bare minimum and at the price point really unacceptable. Breakfast was limited. Complaint dealt with poorly. Very glad I was only staying for one night.

Great accomodation and location
This was a great little hotel for my wife and I. It is for sure a “boutique” style hotel. The rooms are small and there is a small inconvenience that you have to walk through the bathroom to exit the room, but for just the two of to spend a quick weekend in Palo Alto together it was GREAT! The hotel is VERY close to University Ave where all the restaurants and bars are. And it is a quick Uber/Lyft ride to shopping and other dining.

Good location
Stay was good. Only issue was that the room key kept inactivating everyday so that was annoying. Wish the gran and go breakfast had more of a selection. Also they don’t have flavored coffee creamer so bring your own!
