“Updated and still a winner”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 14, 2012

I stayed there with my wife over 3 days this summer. The rooms were recently updated in a contemporary decor and in fact, a few of the rooms were being modernized during our stay. The Country Inn has been in Palo Alto for decades but it doesn't look dated or worn-the grounds are well manicured and the pool is small but clean. The service was friendly but the internet signal is fairly weak furthest from the office (as put forth by a previous reviewer). But we didn't stay there for the internet signal-just a good nights rest, which we got on the newish beds. Honestly, for the price in this area it would be hard to go wrong choosing the Country Inn. I would recommend it.

Stayed June 2012, traveled as a couple

“Below average service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 4, 2012

We stayed at this place for 5 nights. When we booked the hotel, we asked for a roll-away which was included in the cost. However, the roll-away turned out to be very lumpy and very difficult to sleep on. We had to make a lot of noise for the second time to the manager to pay attention and finally received a better bed. The breakfast was terrible -- high sugar content prepackaged muffins and danishes and bruised fruits. They often ran out of even these and don't seem to care that there are not enough. The wifi connection kept crashing and was very frustrating to reconnect again and again. We would not recommend this place.

“Grade "F" Internet”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 21, 2012

Terrible wireless internet signal in my room two nights in a row. The desk managers (a couple) didn't understand the issue and treated me like I didn't know what I was talking about. The woman was downright nasty, and told me I was the problem. haha! I offered to email the man a screen shot of the signal strength test I did from my room that gave it an "F" - worse than 95% of the US. He told me the problem was likely my 2011 MacBook Pro because he wasn't having a problem with his 6 year old Dell (at the front desk where he was probably hard wired!) Whatever happened to our All American "the customer is always right" attitude?! I won't stay here again because of the woman's bad attitude, let alone the internet issue.

“Good value and well located in Palo Alto”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 25, 2012

Stayed here while visiting grand children in town. Located near restaurants on El Camino Real. Our room was #10 back from the street. Clean and quiet. The pool area looked very nice. Minimal walk away breakfast was appreciated. One of the more inexpensive places to stay and was perfectly fine.

Room Tip: Higher numbers back from the street.
