This was our first time here (visits to Stanford Medical). We chose this hotel because it was $100 cheaper than the place we normally stay. It was very basic but suited our needs.

The room was very nice. Especially for the price. Walkable. Some very nice restaurants within walking distance. Only thing I didn’t realize was that the showers only had soap bars and no shampoo. But other than that great.

We needed somewhere to stay while visiting my baby brother at Stanford. I had accidently reserved for 3 nights instead of 1 and the property manager saw that we had just come from the hospital and did everything he could to help. The room was very clean and the staff were extremely kind.
