Pet-friendly policy, close proximity to Stanford Medical Center, quiet swimming pool area
The musty odors in the room were unbearable, clearly stemming from old carpeting!!! The dated decor, peeling paint, and noisy air conditioning unit need urgent attention to elevate the guest experience!!! No elevators are a huge inconvenience!!!

Great spot for family trips!
We stayed for 9 nights and loved the location—just a quick bike ride to Stanford. Staff was super nice and welcoming, making us feel at home, especially with the elderly family member. The kitchenette was a big plus! Just wish the pool was in better shape. it really needs a good cleaning.

We had an awesome stay with a fully-equipped kitchenette and free coffee available! The pool was a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring, and the nice mural decorations on the walls really added charm. The lack of an elevator meant we had to carry our bags upstairs, but overall, it was such a lovely experience! 😊

Family friendly place for comfort
Staff were so helpful – even provided bottled water at the office. Had a full kitchen which was great and a bigger-than-usual fridge! !
It wasn’t exactly affordable, but still acceptable given the overall stay.

I had a wonderful experience with the cozy, clean room that felt so inviting. The kitchenette was a nice surprise, providing all I needed for my stay. The only drawback was limited electrical outlets, which made charging devices a bit tricky.

The Standard King Room was cozy and had decent mattresses, but it had a funky smell when I walked in. It felt a bit older than the photos online. The location was great, though, with quick access to nearby dining. Just a heads up, breakfast was pretty basic, more like snacks than a full meal.

My recent stay was driven by a visit to Stanford Medical Center, and I was pleasantly surprised by my experience. The full kitchenette in my room was fantastic, allowing me to prepare meals during my stay, and the staff was incredibly accommodating when I needed assistance. The atmosphere was surprisingly quiet, making it easy to unwind after busy days.
