3.7 / 5
Great 1356 reviews

The hotel's location is praised for its convenience and proximity to Stanford University and other local amenities. However, the property is frequently criticized for being outdated, poorly maintained, and not well cleaned. The staff's friendliness is appreciated, but their unhelpfulness and lack of communication are also mentioned.

    The property was in a great location for our needs. The signage was easy to see. The hotel property was well maintained. Our room was clean and fresh, well decorated and overall pleasant. There weren’t enough outlets for all of our electronics. Also considering the times we live in, adding some USB ports in the room would be great.

    Very clean The room was nice and clean, but we were given a room for disabled without being offered another one. We were late and just kept it, but it means the bathroom is huge for a wheelchair and lacks additional seating because the bedroom is smaller and access to the sink has to be very wide outside the bathroom. We should have been compensated, or they should have offered a regular room as reserved.

    The location of the hotel to Stanford Cancer Center was perfect, not too far. The beds were very comfortable. The room was small, somewhat outdated and could use a bit of sanding of the bathroom walls & bathroom doors, putty around the tub and fresh paint and that would complete a very satisfying bathroom visit. The room was clean, adequate for a comfortable stay with plenty of towels. The continental breakfast was very good with good choices of breakfast food and juices. I will stay again. I didn't like that the upstairs occupants were so loud in the early morning hours and late evening hours. This was not a reflection of the Comfort Inn, just neighbors that did not respect the other guests. Maybe in-room signs that says, "Please respect other guests" and keep the noise at a respectful level. Thank you, Management

We lost a t shirt in the room and were able to retrieve it later. Appreciated the staff for doing that The two rooms were pretty far away from each other even though we requested them to be close.

    Room was very dirty when arrived. Next morning I told the person at front office about it and even showed the photos. They said they'll clean it while I stepped out. When I come back room was the same. I went again ans spoke to another person and he offered my a refund and to check out. I told him I had booked 3 nights how does he expect me to find another plaxe to stay so soon. So he then sent someone to do a quick clean. I was very disappointed 😞.

    The first room I had 106 had a bath faucet that ran all the time, so they moved me to the last room left that day 103. The room absolutely stank of urine, probably cat urine which I thought came from the arm chair, but caused the whole room to absolutely stink. Completely unsanitary conditions to have to sleep in.

    This is my go to hotel when I need one that’s not too expensive and I feel very safe and always clean . There’s very speacial about the property , the beds are mostly king and some queens so that’s nice . It’s a cozy safe hotel . The breakfast is not that good. Definitely they need to work on that . They could easily have the buffet be fresh and tasty and enjoyable. People would appreciate it so much more !

    First night we were there we got in late and they gave us room 130. I had my daughter and two grandsons with me because we were going to the children's hospital. Needless to say the my grandson dropped some water and when I went to wipe it up on the floor the towel turned dirty because the floor had not been mopped. The bathroom door was broken and would not lock. We shut the lights off to go to bed and you could see outside where the door shuts. The next morning I complained to the front desk (Victor was working) and he apologized and said he could put us in a different room. I said that’s fine so I checked the new room (rm 124) out and it seemed to be cleaner. We moved all of our stuff into the room and then my daughter went into the bathroom and saw there were pincher bugs in the bath tub. I became very upset because my grandson just had surgery and having a dirty room was not good. So I went to the office and told Victor I had enough of this place and I needed to leave this property to go find a clean place for my family. Victor stated he would refund me and at this time two days later I still have not been refunded. So to anyone looking for a clean place to stay I would check out your room before having your family stay here. The sad part is its very expensive in this area and this hotel had decent prices.

    Exhausted and frustrated, I went back to the front desk to report it. Instead of taking my word for it, the staff member insisted on verifying it himself, as if I was making it up. Ten minutes later, he returned looking embarrassed and finally admitted the room was indeed dirty. Then, unbelievably, he tried to contact housekeeping to have the room cleaned right then, close to midnight! The idea that I should wait around while someone tidied up a filthy room at that hour was beyond inconsiderate. After another long wait, I was told no cleaning staff were available, and only then was I reassigned to a different room. By this point, it was well past midnight, and my patience was gone. The entire ordeal was handled so poorly, from the disbelief to the lack of urgency or basic courtesy, that I felt completely disrespected as a paying guest. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The condition of the rooms and the staff’s response were both unacceptable. I left feeling disgusted and deeply disappointed. I will never stay here again and strongly recommend others look elsewhere

    The sink drains poorly and the sink stopper does not work well. Plus there were ants coming from somewhere and crawling over the sink. The main tub spout was loose and would leak in "shower" mode. The main door into my room was way off "square". and had a half inch gap on the bottom. Any mouse could easily get into my room. They used to have carpeting in these rooms, now it is fake hard wood. I prefer the carpet. On a positive note, I thought the bed was comfortable.

    When I checked in, the clerk barely looked at me as he was involved in a personal phone conversation. He just asked for my ID and credit card and handed me my room key. When I returned to the motel in the evening there weren’t any parking spaces left, so I had to take a handicap space. Lastly, no lamps in the room. Only harsh overhead lighting.

    The wifi was terrible. We have iPads that rely on wifi, and every time we opened one to do something, we had to log on again and wait 5 minutes to be connected AGAIN. One of the rooms had a broken shower fixture, as well as a mislabeled bottle of shampoo. Not the end of the world but definitely a nuisance.

    In a quiet area with a lot of businesses. The front desk was as responsive as they could be but there are issues. When we got back to our room at 9:15pm from a trip to SF the tub had dirty water in it. I went down to rhe front office but all they could do about it was offer me a plunger. It worked & cleared up the backup but no staff was present to clean the tub. This morning my son took a shower to clear it up. When it was my turn the tub started gurgling and flushed more dirty water into the tub. I could not take my shower. The room also doesn’t have kleenix, and the toilet paper is on the opposite wall from the toilet. For a small or elderly person it requires them to leave the toilet to get the wipes.

    Place is older and in need of up grade. Small fridge made noises all night as well as the air conditioner. Could hear activity from room above. Upon entry into room found closet door was broken at the bottom. Went back and reported right away so we wouldn’t be charged for it. We came in for breakfast at 7 to find the food already limited. Settled for yogurt and orange juice. Reasonable rate if you’re just looking for a place to crash.

    Property is older and in the process of being renovated. Our room was newly renovated, but was furnished with old furniture. While the standard room was small, it had all the essentials and everything in the room worked as it should. The daily breakfast served in the office included sausage, egg whites, tater tots, toast, mini muffins, and yogurt. Not a lot of choices here, but it was okay. They had great coffee in the office.

    Nice quick stop spot. Beds were comfortable and the space was clean. Staff was polite. Breakfast offered warm as well as cold options: waffle maker, scrambled eggs, sausages, taters, cereal, toast, coffee and hot water with filtered water dispenser. Shower dispensers were pretty awesome, dispensing pretty good quality shampoo and conditioner. If only they could add body wash in the shower and hand soap at the sink. Bedding and bath lineyn were crisp. Door did not seal well as it let in lots of light and noise. First floor was louder in the early morning with guest foot traffic than we would have liked but I guess expected for local commuters. We would stop here again just ask for a 2nd floor room.

    I come to Palo Alto once a month. My quest for a clean, comfortable, safe, relatively new, and acceptably priced accomodations near Stanford (preferably with some form of light breakfast) has repeatedly left me disappointed. Of the many I have tried, this property comes the closest to my quest .... I will return. Nicely and I am guessing recently remodeled, my room was spotless and cheery. Black out shades also made it a good sleep. Breakfast was the typical, but the eggs actually had flavor and the sausage was tasty. My one disappointment was the minimum number of outlets and absence of any USB or C. This could be resolved with updated table lamps that include outlets so it is possible that is available in some rooms.
