Very pleasant stay. Great staff and room was clean and modern. Breakfast was healthy and pleasant. Fantastic coffee ( Nespresso at the lobby). Ask for a room away from the kitchen area as they were preparing breakfast items at 5.30/ 6 am and it was so noisy. Over all a very positive experience!

Comfortable bed. Our room was in the back of the building and we stayed Saturday night. There must be a club in the block over because load music going until late at night. If you’re a light sleeper ask for a room in the front of the building

This was a great little hotel for my wife and I. It is for sure a “boutique” style hotel. The rooms are small and there is a small inconvenience that you have to walk through the bathroom to exit the room, but for just the two of to spend a quick weekend in Palo Alto together it was GREAT! The hotel is VERY close to University Ave where all the restaurants and bars are. And it is a quick Uber/Lyft ride to shopping and other dining.

I checked in and was assigned a room. Upon entry to the room, I noticed that the bed was in the middle of the room and there was trash on the bed. I let the person upfront know and they mentioned they had been renovating the room and it was not done so they would get me another room. Upon walking into my new room, the same situation occured and that room was also not done. Finally I was able to get into a room.
