La Quinta Inn & Suites - accommodation in Palo Alto

This was my second time staying at Zen hotel, more than a decade apart, and I appreciate that the hotel hasn’t changed much. It is still a peaceful oasis right off El Camino with easy access to everything in the Palo Alto area. We loved the vibe and the little patio area. My reasons for less than 5 star rating are: 1) some stains on towels; 2) not the best breakfast, though definitely appreciate that it’s freely available for those in a rush; 3) bed was too soft for our liking. That said, we’ll probably still go with Zen hotel in the future, given its unbeatable location, free parking, affordability, and quietness.
