Bathroom was soaking wet because the upstairs room leaks down. I was told that it always happens. It was treated as though it was a normal occurrence.

Our home had no electricity for 3 days during a major storm. We have a dog so the hotel choices were limited. The people at the front desk were lovely, comfortable beds and warm showers were all we needed. We were close to food as well which was great!

This place does not offer a plush environment, but it’s highly functional, very close to Stanford’s campus and my go-to hotel for matters in the Palo Alto area.

I wasn’t sure about this place bc I’d never heard of it and I usually stay at a very good hotel chain. Needless to say, I was very impressed with everything here. The owners are super nice and accommodating, very clean and comfortable beds, and it was half the cost of my usual hotel!! I’ll definitely stay here again!!

It was amazing and family friendly. It was exactly what my family needed, it was really a home away from home. The staff were so friendly. We enjoyed the breakfast. The cleaning including changing of bedings were done everyday.

My stay began with the warmest welcome from the front desk staff. After I settled into my small, cramped but clean and comfortable room, I immersed myself in the warm waters of the small pool. I had a very hard time convincing myself to get out of the pool because the water was perfect. My room was away from the busy thoroughfare, so I never heard any street noise. The bed and pillows felt like sleeping on a warm cloud. The motel itself is an old facility with some recent upgrades. It is priced correctly for what it offers. I will stay again for sure!

Staff was excellent. Extremely helpful and friendly. Very clean non smoking room. Pricing was similar to nearby hotels that were much newer and or more recently renovated. The room layout with two doubles was a little odd with one bed partially blocking the entry to the washroom and bathroom. It is a neat little place though and it looks like they’re just trying to make the most of a facility that was built a long time ago. Which for me is ok. The parking is a little tight if you’ve got a larger vehicle. Good stay and really not too loud for being right on the edge of el Camino. Not top of the list for the price but I wouldn’t be apposed to staying again.

Handy location. Beautiful flowering vines around the pool. Clean, comfortable, friendly service. Simple continental breakfast. El Camino Real is very busy but nice neighborhood side streets to walk around. Check out the outdoor restaurants on California ave.

We live locally but were without power for nearly 60 hours. After two cold nights at home, we checked in to the Stanford Motor Inn to get warm. It is an older motel with basic amenities, but it was clean and comfortable at a reasonable price.

Best things are friendly staff and convenient location. Condition rather terrible. 1970s fixtures in very worn condition need to go! As do the downscale bedding, furnishings, filthy carpeting, and unkempt parking lot with filthy vehicles which look permanently parked. Real eyesore. TV and wall hair dryer didn’t work. Bathtub needs bleaching. No rubber mat provided. Broken window screen. No closet, no back window, no bathroom fan. Especially poor continental bfast. Hard to understand the 8.4 rating.

Very friendly staff for my every need from check-in through departure. The property is in a motel style you don't see anymore back East, but the room was clean and modern. Price was reasonable for the area. Location very convenient to Stanford, Palo Alto, Mountain View. I would be glad to stay there again.

The Stanford Motor Inn was perfect for my stay. I came for a reunion and to see friends. The location was great, the owners even better. They are friendly and really care about your stay. I highly recommend.
