This is a classic old school motel, with each room painted with custom art. You can see it is many years old, but for us it is indeed "excellent." A breath of fresh normalcy in the otherwise bizarre Palo Alto landscape.

Fan was extremely loud, TV broken, door lock broken. The front desk staff tried very hard to support, but should not have been put in that situation.

Heat for a family of 4 in the heart of a storm.
Our home had no electricity for 3 days during a major storm. We have a dog so the hotel choices were limited. The people at the front desk were lovely, comfortable beds and warm showers were all we needed. We were close to food as well which was great!

The staff was great. Didn’t like the rug, which was filthy. Everything connected with extension cords. Furnishings old and grubby. Bed uncomfortable.
