Very comfortable, quiet and cozy and close to our destination which was Stanford Hospital. Slept good and breakfast was excellent. Lately we have been disappointed that Embassy Suites and Hilton have cut back on the quaily of their breakfast buffett, so we thought we'd try a new place and we were not disappointed. We will definately recommend this place to family and friends.
