Top Palo Alto Hotel Reviews

The Palo Alto Inn

The Palo Alto Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Clean room with good AC - that was our main criteria and they delivered. When we entered the property first, my wife was worried because of the motel look but once we entered the room, all concerns went away. They also have nice seating outside with string lights in the night which gives a very nice ambiance. My only improvement feedback is that the front desk was not open even at 10am on couple of days."

"plenty of guest parking! Property & room was VERY clean. A/C was terrific and welcomed during the mini-heatwave. Staff was very nice.
