We were visiting the Palo Alto area for the first time. Beyond visiting some local attractions, we were able to catch both a hockey game as well as a Stanford football game. Location was great; use of the easy access parking garage, as well as accessible public transportation helped make the most of our stay. For example, the rapid transit bus got me to the Stanford stadium in less than fifteen minutes.

The sheets were not changed on our bed. Someone’s fingernails were in the bed. I told the front desk and they brought us ONE sheet for us to change, not even a new set when clearly the pillow cases and all were not changed. So gross. Also don’t love that they charge $20 a night for parking. Won’t be back.
