“always our choice of stay when in the bay area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2012

Residence Inn offers rather standard amenities for the typical business travellers like us and for this branch at Palo Alto, somehow it feels more welcoming than the others being located in a quiet corner off the busy El Camino Real street.

The location is superb for it is only a few minutes walk/ drive away from many food options and there is a Wal-mart and Target nearby too.

The 2-bedroom suites we booked was clean and the living area and kitchen area was great for quick business meetings and meals too.

The only downside was that the WIFI did not work well during our stay in April'12.

The nearby Vietnamese restaurant serving pho is a must-try if you like noodles.

“Value Choice in Palo Alto”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

This Residence Inn is conveniently located in the midst of Silicon Valley, The staff if well-trained and eager to help. A complete morning breakfast, a soon to be remodeled fitness center, pool and area to grill make this a well-rounded choice
Make your reservations early because it fills up..

Room Tip: Main building is convenient for breakfast...second building convenient for upgroudn parking

“Excellent location and price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 13, 2012

We stayed here for four nights to attend the Stanford reunion. Our favorite things were: great breakfast choices, spacious rooms, free wireless throughout the hotel, convenient drive to both Palo Alto and San Jose, covered parking, and pleasant decor. (there is even a gas grill if you want to cook outside) The first room we checked into had a leak in the shower (coming from the overhead room), so they switched us another room the first day and went out of their way to check the quality of our new location, leaving us a note and mini bottle of wine. We would stay here again! The manager shared with us that the property is getting a full renovation sometime in 2013, so expect future upgrades.

Usually this chain is a "category 3" hotel in the Marriott rewards system - this location is "category 5" because of its desirable site, which costs more points to redeem for a night.

Room Tip: The third (top) floor rooms had small balconies, just enough to step onto.

“I must have gotten the lousy room...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012

plenty of good reviews on the site, but skip room 245 as the room had a strong musty smell and the bed and fold out sofa were difficult to sleep on. Expected more from Marriott. breakfast was ok and check in was quick however

Room Tip: Skip room 245

“missing the marriott bedding”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2012

Stayed here while attending the Jason Aldean concert at Shoreline. The hotel is great other than it is missing the Marriott bedding that I have learned to look forward to in Marriott hotels. The bed was very firm. If staying here for a concert at Shoreline and are planning on taking a cab I would recommend having the front desk call a cab about two hours prior to the concert as the cab companies get pretty backed up. As for the hotel the room was great, the breakfast was awesome, the staff was very helpful. Once they upgrade the bedding (end of the year) this will be a great hotel.

Room Tip: One bedroom suites are great
