    Palo Alto is a cute city with tons of things to do.

    Palo Alto is a cute city with tons of things to do. Plenty of food options to eat at, tons of shopping, and events to go to. It is a little bit more on the pricey side but worth the visit. The farmer's market is one of our favorite things to do on Sunday when we visit.

    Stanford University was nice.

    Stanford University was nice. I spent most of my time in the library, but the architecture was nice. The city is extremely expensive for food. Restaurants were very pricey, and even groceries were costly. There is a lot of homelessness and people living in campers. It is not the nightmare that San Francisco is, but it is tragic to see such affluence and poverty side-by-side.

    Palo Alto is an affectionately weird mix of California egalitarianism and Silicon Valley Venture Capitalism. I only come to the city for health care at Stanford Medical Center, which is world class, all the way!

    It was a good hotel, very comfortable but if you want a meal in the evening or weekend forget it. The hotel does not serve meals during those times. I will go to the Courtyard next time I am in the area.

    We needed a place to stay close to Stanford and Coronet Motel was perfect. If we need to return, we will definitely stay there again. We were so pleased with the size of the room which included a breakfast table, sofa, desk and private bedroom. It is not new, but very clean and well kept up.

    The Stanford University campus is worth a visit and a guided tour if you can book one. The Baylands nature preserve is a beautiful place to take a walk or just relax. Shopping and eating at the Stanford Shopping Mall with its variety of large and small shops is delightful.

    The most disappointing part of my stay at the hotel is the breakfast. The staff explained that the food available for Monday and Tuesday is usually very low because the supply arrives on Wednesday. By Monday, the supply would normally be insufficient for all the guests. I hope the management can help the person in charge to order sufficient quantity for the guests especially for those staying on Monday and Tuesday.

    The staff is always there and always helpful. They helped with lots of practical things. The rooms are well-maintained. There are two nice seating areas outside and on a balcony. And the location is Palo Alto is near everything i needed. It doesn't have amenities like a pool and a spa, but I did not need that.
