    spacious room
    quiet atmosphere
    great toiletries
    traffic noise
    stairs access

    The room was super spacious and nicely updated! I loved how quiet it was—couldn’t hear any other guests, which is rare. Free snacks and great toiletries were a nice touch too. And the lighting? Perfect if you want brightness! The temperature control was great, didn’t have to deal with a stuffy room. Plus, there was a small deck outside for chilling. Overall, really impressed!

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I was absolutely charmed by the cozy vibe! The clean, spacious Deluxe Queen Room I stayed in had unexpected touches like a coffee maker and plush robes that really made it feel like home. The warm front desk staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was seamless and enjoyable!

    will certainly stay here again

    The location is spot on, easy access to Stanford. The room was comfy and had a cozy seating area. I loved the shower and the breakfast was awesome with make-your-own waffles and good coffee. Super friendly staff greeted us with waters at check-in. Fitness center was a plus too. Free parking available.

    comfortable accommodations

    Good for families needing comfort

    They’ve taken what was once a typical motel and made it comfy. I loved the free bottles of water and snacks in the room, plus the L’Occitane toiletries were a nice touch.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but for the experience, it was still acceptable.

    unresponsive staff

    Nice stay overall, but some bumps

    We spent a night here and the location was a total win since it's close to everything. The room was comfy, but it had a strange noise that woke me up a few times. The breakfast spread was solid, though, especially those smoothies! Too bad the staff wasn’t super helpful when I brought up the noise.
