This hotel is a real Gem! It's so nice to be able to stay near our daughter and have it not only be nice, but also affordable. I can't say enough about this hotel. It is very convenient to restaurants (Wendy's and Starbucks) and the breakfast that is served is delicious. We find this hotel to be a great value and we stay here often.

I booked a stay here because I was getting a surgery at Stanford Medicine Outpatient Center which is 10 minutes away. They have an elevator. Their hvac units have continuous fan mode that makes good white noise. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was a pleasant, comfortable, and reasonably priced experience.

Not my first choice

Friendly staff. Rooms were small. The bedding had holes, the outlets didn’t work. The peep hole had gum on it. And the bathroom had cracks around the tub & floor. We asked twice for more towels, but none arrived. Coffee and breakfast provided were nice.

Nothing stands out

This hotel is in a decent location but not much is going on nearby. I was put in an accessible room which I didn’t want and deliberately avoided as I don’t like to take these from individuals who need them. On top of that, I was charged more to stay in an accessible room. The lobby is one of the more uninviting ones I’ve been to. It’s small and cramped. Same for the dining area, which felt like a dorm.
