The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was clean and comfortable, with updated decor and a quiet atmosphere. The staff were pleasant, and the room was reasonably priced. I especially appreciated the thoughtful amenities—and the lack of noisy air conditioning or fans switching on and off during the night. I couldn’t stay for breakfast, but it was nice to have coffee in the room. I’d happily stay again. Parking is right outside your door too."
