Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had an ok stay here. Pros: -close to Stanford Uni and Stanford Medical Centers. -very close to restaurants. Lots of choices nearby (walkable and driving) -pretty clean in the room. -shower had good water pressure. -breakfast was a nice perk. Cons: -the beds in our room were very uncomfortable. I think the mattresses were old and not fluffy at all. The pillows were flat and I woke up with an awful neck pain. -it’s an old motel that they tried to gentrify. It still had an old musty smell when you walk in. -carpeted rooms.
