This is a classic old school motel, with each room painted with custom art. You can see it is many years old, but for us it is indeed "excellent." A breath of fresh normalcy in the otherwise bizarre Palo Alto landscape.

Fan was extremely loud, TV broken, door lock broken. The front desk staff tried very hard to support, but should not have been put in that situation.

The staff was great. Didn’t like the rug, which was filthy. Everything connected with extension cords. Furnishings old and grubby. Bed uncomfortable.
