This is an expensive place that is walking distance to everything but needs some more attention and care to details.

6.0

This place is walking distance to local shops and is easy to access.

Needs some fresh flowers to bring life to the old building. The manager seemed confused.

A lovely inn in the middle of Palo Alto

9.0

The room was spacious and pleasant. The little kitchen was a real bonus. I really enjoyed the coffee in the morning! Also the proximity to University Ave was a plus. I could easily walk to a cafe or restaurant from the inn.

The bed was very firm. That was okay for me for one night, but it could be a little much for multiple nights.

Innkeepers were very friendly and congenial. Our room was spacious, the beds comfortable and the shower was wonderful. The shared kitchen had everything we needed.

Adequate for our purposes but not a luxurious stay.

No breakfast. Good location.

Could not get in when I requested. Not welcoming. Tiny room. Needs better maintenance.
