I had a wonderful stay here. Great location, walkable to everything, the staff was friendly and accommodating, room was clean, bed is comfortable, it’s quiet, and they always kept the refreshment area will cold infused water and coffee.

Comfortable bed. Our room was in the back of the building and we stayed Saturday night. There must be a club in the block over because load music going until late at night. If you’re a light sleeper ask for a room in the front of the building

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.

The room was ridiculously small with a non-transparent window. When entering, I found a bunch of cleaning lady’s hair in the shower. Gross!

I checked in and was assigned a room. Upon entry to the room, I noticed that the bed was in the middle of the room and there was trash on the bed. I let the person upfront know and they mentioned they had been renovating the room and it was not done so they would get me another room. Upon walking into my new room, the same situation occured and that room was also not done. Finally I was able to get into a room.
