With a 5am surgery set at Stanford Hospital, rather than a groggy two hour commute from my home in Salinas, I opted for an overnight stay near the hospital. This not being the occasion for 4-Star excess, I scoured the two-page listing of area accommodations provided by Stanford and found precious few lower-end properties. I chose the one-$ Stanford Motor... More

We stayed for three nights. Roomy and clean, very friendly and helpful staff. Little bit outdated decor and poor kitchenette standard that doesnt meet requirements. But basically it is a good place to stay at. Good location.

If I had arrived earlier, I would have left and found another place to stay. Pure filth. I usually stay at a local Marriott while doing business at Stanford, but they were booked solid. This motel should be condemmed. I am a world traveler and I haven't seen a place like this in many years. The carpet is so filthy... More

I thought the decorations were cute/quaint and the staff friendly and helpful, but the motel is pretty bare bones and run-down. The room I was in had a broken tile in the kitchen area and tears in the duvet covers and throw pillows on the beds. The towels are small and super thin. The provided breakfast is pastries kept in...

This hotel is located close to Downtown PA on El Camino. Basically it is a good price for service you get: Rooms are clean but really old fashion, there is no minibar, no breakfast. Still you have a fridge a coffee maker and a microwave. I would recommand this hotel for short stay (couple of nights) but it may be... More

We went to see a very ill friend at the VA hospital in Palo Alto so the trip was not one we wanted to have to make. Our reservation was done from the hospital and we chose this hotel because of the price and TripAdvisor ratings. I say, THANK YOU to all of you who have taken the time to... More

Upon driving into the charming upscale town of Palo Alto, the Motor Inn was easy to find. The location was convenient for what we came for - a tour of Stanford. The Motor Inn transported me back to the time when you pulled over for the night after a long day of driving. Very kitchy, from the plastic plants, water... More

The most run-down motel I've ever stayed at. The dingy green carpet has to be original from the 1970's and the bed covers are equally old. I can't understand the excellent ratings on tripadvisor. Really? All experiences surely are relative. At $140 for a double, it wasn't exactly cheap and it definitely should have been better.

I stayed here for one week while I underwent health procedures at a nearby facility. The owners were amazing! From the day I called to make my reservations a few weeks before my stay to the day I left, everything was great. They even offer a reduced rate (which you can ask for) if you let them know you are... More
