Location is in great proximity to Medical School campus and Stanford Mall. It's within walking distance to many restaurants and easy available parking as well. Some noise due to proximity to road but clean and comfortable.

Great little spot with fair pricing

It was clean and priced fairly. The rooms are on the smaller side but it was clean and comfortable. Parking is a little tight, if you have a trailer there’s no room for that onsite.
