The Palo Alto Inn, hotel in Palo Alto

Located a mile off the Central Expressway, this hotel is just a minute’s drive from the San Antonio Shopping Center. It features free Wi-Fi access.

The room was very, very nicely designed and very comfortable. They staff were very kind and tried their best to make my stay comfortable. The hotel is a little far from most places in Palo Alto, so you need to use a bus to get anywhere. They provide rental bicycles, but if you read below, you'll find I had a lot of trouble with those.

    This hotel/motel was a great value.

    This hotel/motel was a great value. It exceeded all expectations. Although rated a 2 Star Hotel, it certainly shows itself better than its rating. Plenty of parking. Very quiet although located on the El Camino. Well appointed rooms. Comfy bed, room was very clean, and furnished very nicely. My wife loved the complimentary soft drinks & snacks offered during check-in. No complaints.

    Palo Alto is a cute city with tons of things to do.

    Palo Alto is a cute city with tons of things to do. Plenty of food options to eat at, tons of shopping, and events to go to. It is a little bit more on the pricey side but worth the visit. The farmer's market is one of our favorite things to do on Sunday when we visit.

    Stanford University was nice.

    Stanford University was nice. I spent most of my time in the library, but the architecture was nice. The city is extremely expensive for food. Restaurants were very pricey, and even groceries were costly. There is a lot of homelessness and people living in campers. It is not the nightmare that San Francisco is, but it is tragic to see such affluence and poverty side-by-side.

    Palo Alto is an affectionately weird mix of California egalitarianism and Silicon Valley Venture Capitalism. I only come to the city for health care at Stanford Medical Center, which is world class, all the way!

    It was a good hotel, very comfortable but if you want a meal in the evening or weekend forget it. The hotel does not serve meals during those times. I will go to the Courtyard next time I am in the area.

    We needed a place to stay close to Stanford and Coronet Motel was perfect. If we need to return, we will definitely stay there again. We were so pleased with the size of the room which included a breakfast table, sofa, desk and private bedroom. It is not new, but very clean and well kept up.

    I liked everything. great bed, assortment of pillows including down, friendly staff, small but well kept pool area, lovely continental breakfast, quiet and clean, nice shower head and toiletries, frankly everything you would get in a luxury hotel but for a budget price. I highly recommend if you need to visit the Stanford campus.
