    There was two flights of stairs to walk up. No elevator. No problem for me but if you are disabled and cannot walk up stairs you may have a hard time

    Room was very spacious. A lot of privacy. Everything was very clean

    You could hear some of the road noise here and there.

    It was clean, fantastic discount on the night before Thanksgiving. Otherwise, fantastic place. Parking under the motel. Vintage motel. No elevator, bit you won't need it if you get the ground floor. I felt safe.

    The light in the entry walkway was on all night and blinders in the window did nothing to block it. Would really suggest a heavier curtain option to block light.

    The room was nice and clean and loved the back balcony.

    It didn't quite have a squeaky clean feel when we arrived, but it was just fine. The road noise from El Camino was pretty loud at night in the room except with the A/C drowning it out.

    Lee at the front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Great location for apartment hunting near Stanford. Within walking distance of a few eateries and coffee shops. The king suite was very spacious with a nice desk, armchairs, and small table in the room. The room also had a mini fridge and microwave. We enjoyed the budget stay.

    There were a bit of noise from the neighbor car workshop in the morning time.

    This is a nice place to stay. close to bus station if you care about it. I was there for about 3 weeks. They don’t serve food but there are several restaurants and a Starbucks close to this place. I had problem with WiFi and they provided me with a router in the room that changed my internet from 10 to 100. Staff were excellent and very professional. The room was very clean and room service was ~every 2-3 days.

    I always like to have coffee first thing in the morning but this was not provided. Either in room or in lobby. But you can walk just down the road 10 minutes to McDonalds. There is a lot of noise from El Camino Real traffic but this added to the novelty of the stay, you get used to it. This is not a new Inn and could use a little painting here and there.

    The location was perfect for the tasks at hand, easy access to bus, stops right in front, near access to main road arteries to drive in all directions. Room was large and clean and comfortable. There was a shower but no bath. The large TV was excellent . It had a small refrigerator and small microwave so you could bring back food and reheat. The management was extremely helpful and kind. Even arranged for the UBER to take me to the airport early AM. Many places to eat close by in walking distance. It had individual heating and air-conditioning unit in room. Sea gulls sang on the roof at daybreak!

    The outside property is a little run down, very steep drop into the parking lot. The property was a little hard for my special needs child to navigate i.e. the steep driveway and the stairs to get to and from the room. The bed was a little too hard for me. Also, wasn’t able to figure out the A/C unit but the temperature was fine.

    The room was so spacious and clean, honestly bigger than some apartments I’ve seen in the Bay Area. I was very glad to find a microwave, refrigerator, even a small kitchen sink. I was also impressed there was a balcony. Check-in was easy and the staff was nice and interacted with my kiddo who was dying for some attention after a long car ride.

    the outside light shines through the window enough to wake me up. Bring an Eye mask and ear plugs for a great nights sleep. Parking is as tight as it is in a European garage, meaning you better be a dang good driver in a small car to fit in a spot.

    comfortable bed. big soft pillows (too bad if you like flat ones) smelled extremely clean. fridge and freezer actually works and there was a patio! Huge TV with all the channels. As a woman traveling solo with a baby, I felt safe. An eye mask and ear plugs are a great idea.
