    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 location of the hotel is truly great. You're literary in the center of Palo Alto, a few minutes walk from literary anything you would want and need. The staff was nice and helpful, always there to greet and say something nice. The room was good, I'd highlight a very comfortable bed and a good TV with a million options. Everything was clean and nice. WIFI worked great without stopping for a second.

    Location was perfect for us to visit Stanford, and the room was comfortable. The staff was really nice, and offered us waters on arrival and an early check-in. For our one-night stay, it was great and reasonably priced for Palo Alto. The breakfast was better than we expected with make-your-own waffles, good coffee, and a nice selection so everyone could find something they wanted.

    Very quaint vintage hotel that had very clean, nicely updated rooms. The lobby had nice penny tiles, fireplace, an antique elevator, etc. Nice ambiance for sure. Nothing extravagant, but just what I needed. Beautiful walk to Stanford University and in the heart of Palo Alto with amazing restaurants and wine bars. If I ever return to the area - I will no doubt stay here.

    The Palo Alto Inn was a very nice place. The receptionist was very helpful, as well as the very nice room. Overnight was simply for travelling, but it had a great place to spend the night. This would be very helpful to spend the night again.
