So the bathroom is all little dated but the surrounding area is great and the place is quiet. There was a giant 65 in tv in the room so if you like to watch tv this is the hotel for you.
lots of parking, a really old hotel, but it was clean. I had appt at Stanford Medical and it was convenient. Lots of more expensive hotels right next to it. For the cost, it was a good deal. Just know it is old. It worked for a night.

Parking outside my room. Lot was very well lit, in a good Palo Alto neighborhood.
Had a fantastic experience at Oak Motel. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Everything was well-maintained and made for a relaxing visit. Highly recommend!
It was clean . Parking spaces good. Feel safe. Cleaning staff very nice. Air conditioning and heating working properly. Good amenities.. bathroom may need few upgrade but nothing mayor.. we where there for a family trip to the hospital we love it because is super close to the hospital food and market and the place is really quite. I DO RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. AND FOR SURE COME BACK.
I have not been here in a while, but it is still a good place to stay. It would be better sharing a room with the right person. There are soft chairs and enough space for extra items from home. There is a wide screen television in front of the bed and a table in front, which can be moved to either side. Bring a DVD player with an HDMI cable, if possible because there is nothing really good on television now and the older shows are much better. The maids should set the clocks to the correct time, even if it is just the microwave. They usually miss some spots while cleaning and I find some trash behind or under items. I like the early check-in time of 1:00 P.M., rather than 3:00 P.M. at most places and that we can leave the key card in the room if checking out early.
Overall stay was fine, room service was good with friendly maids ( they spoke some English). Reasonable price. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. Their soap could be of better quality. Lot better than a Motel 6! But no breakfast or restaurant on site. Has a pool!
Perfect for a few nights. Better than expected based on the price… and the other reviews. It was a clean room with a nice big TV and a working air conditioner, what more could you ask for! A fridge… and a microwave… that’s what more you could ask for, and they got it! Hospitality was great as well. Thanks for the stay!
