Seaside Inn

Marina District

10/10 Excellent

My room faces the street and it was pretty loud all night, even with earplugs. Interiors have been updated and have all amenities you’d expect from a place charging twice as much. I’m bummed that the outlet by the bed I charged my phone in overnight melted my cable, rendering my extra battery pack unusable and I missed getting photos of my daughter’s race finish because my phone died. Overall, would recommend this hotel.

Hotel Parmani

Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent

Over the past several years, I have stayed at this location under three different owners and hotel names. It's funny because I never realized it until I booked the hotel and actually show up. Hotel Parmani was clean, and the staff was polite and efficient. I did not have any problems during my stay and the rent was incredibly cheap for being in Palo alto. Normally you can't get these prices unless you go all the way across the Bell and stay at a grimy motel 6.
