Guest reviews
Recent reviews shared by hotel guests
The staff made this stay. Everyone was pleasant, upbeat, and responsive from booking through checkout, and they were ready to help at each step. We arrived early for our three-night visit while attending an event at Rivian across the street, and they got us checked in ahead of time. Our room wasn’t huge, but had all the basics: a bed, desk, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, dresser, chair, and table. The bathroom was fairly large. It’s not modern, but it has its own charm. There seemed to be fewer parking spaces than rooms, yet even when the inn was fully booked, some spots were open. Maybe many guests use rideshares. Breakfast is grab-and-go, which can be handy. Dogs are very welcome here, and the staff were happy to pet them. There’s a small patch beside the inn for quick potty breaks, plus a newer park a block away with a fenced dog play area. It was great for getting our bulldog’s energy out. Local dog owners use it and were welcoming. I’d absolutely stay here again.
My mom was admitted to Stanford Hospital, and since my family lives four hours away, we’ve been here for nearly three weeks. Some family and friends helped us book “Prestige” hotels, but on arrival they looked nothing like the photos. The service was awful, the rooms weren’t cleaned properly, and the bathrooms had mold. Dad and I even had to leave one place because it wasn’t available for our stay. On Monday, we were stressed and a nurse suggested we search on an app. Thank God we found Stanford Motor Inn. I was a little unsure because of the pictures, but Laura greeted us so sweetly, and the service from her and the rest of the staff has been great. Our room was seriously clean, the beds were so comfortable, and we slept like babies. Dad says it has a cozy, homey feel. We’ll definitely book here when we come back for Mom’s chemo or surgery. No more worrying about where we’ll stay. If they have space, Stanford Motor Inn is our first choice. Thanks to Laura and the team for making Dad and me feel at home. Alanis Family, 100/10.
A handy place for a short visit or conference in Palo Alto. The rooms are a little dated, but they’re clean and fresh. It’s family-owned, and the owners at the front desk are really nice. Mr Nair and his wife were especially friendly and helpful. There are lots of good restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Stanford Motor Inn makes a great stop when you’re in town.
We can always count on a good stay at Stanford Motor Inn, and we wouldn’t choose anywhere else in Palo Alto. Neal, Ashley, and the rest of the staff are so kind and accommodating.
The rooms could be a little cleaner, but the service is the best ever. The people working here are lovely, and the location is great. There’s a park nearby if you’re traveling with kids.
