Very clean, updated, and with special touches to improve aesthetics and comfort. Very kind staff and easy check-in and out. Room is on the smaller side, but was not lacking for anything.

Cute but needs some IT attention
The Palo Alto inn is charming and convenient. We were disappointed that the alarm was set at 5:53 am and because of the way it was hooked up, we could not disconnect it. The TV only played one station. If these "IT" things were fixed, it would have been a wonderful stay. There was no one at the office when we left (early of course!) to explain the issues so I do so here.
