The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent
"For the price, this is as good of a stay as you could ask for. The beds were not fantastic, but I couldn’t complain considering the comparative price. Clean, ice machine, staff was helpful, breakfast was much more than we expected. I would recommend staying here!"
