Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests generally praised the hotel for its cleanliness, convenient location near Stanford and local amenities, and decent breakfast options. The staff was often described as friendly and helpful. However, noise from adjoining rooms and outside traffic was a common complaint, as was the unexpected parking fee. Some guests noted issues with room amenities like TV malfunctions and soft beds, but overall the hotel provided good value for the price.

Adrian, Sept 2022
They did not give me a room and sent me to a different hotel. I didn’t feel like I was being treated like a paying customer and it felt more like I should had been the one charging for my presence and not the other way around.
