Small hotel that packs a punch in service. Not your uber resorts, but easy in and out, amble free parking, quiet, clean room and super friendly staff. The breakfast is okay, nothing to write home about, but it will hold your tummy until lunch. Did not get to try the free wine, but each night, guests love to hang around the outdoor fireplace and chat. Only con would be, needs a mini fridge in the room and must keep the black out curtains to prevent unwanted eyes outside. Overall, this is a great place to stay for visiting Palo Alto. The price is right for the nice stay.
