Good place to stay
Nice spacious room. Comfortable bed with 4 pillows. Good shower. One very odd thing: I am 5'4". I could not reach the toilet paper from the toilet! Not a big deal, but when a bathroom is big, that is a design detail to take into consideration!

Parking stalls were very tight. Unit I was in was in the backside of the property, which felt unsafe. I had to put a lounge chair in front of my door to feel a little bit safer. Could hear neighboring guest talking late into the night through the walk and the their dog barking in the early hours of the following morning. Breakfast was simple but sufficient for the room price. The wall paint the bathroom seemed questionable for mold cover up. I had to unplug mini refrigerator because it made a loud noise which kept me awake along side the neighbors. The toilet flush handle needed to be jiggled to stop the toilet water from constantly running.

I was put into a room that literally had the wallpaper peeling off the walls or missing in some areas. Just very rundown and unsafe for a woman traveling alone. Was woken up at 3am one morning to a woman screaming outside and saw people walking or biking through the property who clearly weren’t guests. I won’t be staying at this property again.

The bathroom was clean and recently renovated. The electric outlets were in weird places so an electric box needed to be installed. The lobby/dining area is very small and not enough tables and chairs for people to sit and enjoy the continental breakfast. Breakfast was also limited and the same food each day. There is no parking behind the building so you need to drag your luggage to the rooms in the back. Otherwise housekeeping and front desk staff were courteous and efficient. The location is ideal for those who are visiting nearby Stanford University.

We have stayed here many times and the value is good. The room itself was clean, but the outside area of the property had some trash and spills on the passageways and stairs that had dried and not been cleaned up. The breakfast is adequate. Probably will not return.
