My room had an amazingly comfortable mattress. I slept very well.
The big problem for me was the terrible WiFi. I was staying in Palo Alto for business and needed WiFi with real bandwidth. The WiFi at this Hotel is simply insufficient.

Big disappointment
This place needs a major update. It was clean and the TV worked great, but the bed was creaky and 2 hard pillows. The toilet was low to the ground and the floor near the bathroom and closet was cracking as I think the layer underneath was probably rotten. There was a refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine, but they only provided "instant" coffee packets. There was no USB plugin in the entire pace and the wake-up call we requested never happened. There was a great place to eat across the street (Dinah's Poolside Restaurant) and we were wishing we had booked a room over there.

My personal Experience
It was a one night stay.. very reasonable price. They give what they offer. Very quiet place to stay a rest very comfortable beds we stay in a to beds room. Really appreciate that they had microwave, fridge and coffee maker in the room. That help us out a lot with our daughter foods. FAN AND AC Unit worked really good..Really friendly people working in the front desk. Room it was clean.. It may have little older furniture and structures but do not interfere with a Good overall experience.. Fully Recommended.

I loved that the floors were not carpeted. It made the room feel cleaner. The bathroom fixtures were older, which I didn’t mind but I could have done without the cockroach I found in the bathroom. The area outside in front of our door smelled like pee. It looked clean though, I guess maybe it came from people, letting their dogs pee in a patch of dirt out front.
