“Extremely Disappointing.”

Reviewed 24 February 2013 via mobile

Do not book this MOTEL. It is not a hotel and the rate at $275 a night is outrageous. I arrived and then spent the next 2 hours trying to find somewhere else to stay. The sheets were dirty and smelt like someone else had already slept in them, not to mention hairs! I have nothing positive to say about... More

He did use the room for a couple of hours after which he came to the office and left the key on the front desk and told me that he prefers to stay at big hotels, and... More

“Unless you're desperate for a motel near campus, keep looking elsewhere.”

Reviewed 4 November 2012

This is really is just a motel: small rooms and a place to park the car. On the plus side, my room was clean, had a comfortable bed, big flat screen TV. How small was the room? i could just about reach from the bed through the window to start my car. it also had an old battery in the... More

“I Wasn't Impressed”

Reviewed 12 October 2012

I stayed here on a business trip. It was the only hotel available for the dates I needed. Upon checkin I realized the hotel was not in a good part of town and only offered ground level roome. The room interior was ok however the shower was disgusting. It had black stuff growing in it and the room smelled old.... More

“Quaint location in Palo Alto”

Reviewed 2 July 2012

Terrific location on El Camino just walking distance from blocks and blocks of shopping, restaurants, coffee and much much more. Hop in the car and you are minutes from Stanford Shopping Center. The lodge is older; but rooms are updated and decorated nicely. Friendly run lodge with the comforts of home. With parking right outside your room, this is a... More

“Suggestion to never book this property.”

Reviewed 28 June 2012

I am a Customer Service Representative for a well known corporate travel agency. Today I received a concern from a client who found the property to be unsafe and the room unsatisfactory (located in a bad neighborhood, room on ground level, etc.) The client returned her room key and due to no other vacancies the client had to drive the...

We have an excellent location in a great neighborhood only 1 mile from Stanford University near Matadero Creek and walking distance to the business district, public transportation, and upscale restaurants on El Camino Real. It is obvious from looking at the photos the high quality of our rooms and that the Palo Alto Lodge is a single story motor court.... More

“Great place”

Reviewed 30 May 2012

Great location, friendly staff, located around great restaurants and very close to major attractions in the heart of Silicon Valley. The rooms are clean and well decorated. If you are in town for business or just dropping by to check out a game at Stanford, this would be the place to go.

“A Hidden Gem on the Peninsula”

Reviewed 5 March 2012

This property is very well-situated on El Camino Real close to the California Avenue business and restaurant district. The remodeled rooms are kept spotlessly clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. The rates are a terrific bargain. I don't mind that there aren't a lot of amenities since the area already has so much to offer. The beds are... More
