    Palo Alto is a cute city with tons of things to do.

    Palo Alto is a cute city with tons of things to do. Plenty of food options to eat at, tons of shopping, and events to go to. It is a little bit more on the pricey side but worth the visit. The farmer's market is one of our favorite things to do on Sunday when we visit.

    Stanford University was nice.

    Stanford University was nice. I spent most of my time in the library, but the architecture was nice. The city is extremely expensive for food. Restaurants were very pricey, and even groceries were costly. There is a lot of homelessness and people living in campers. It is not the nightmare that San Francisco is, but it is tragic to see such affluence and poverty side-by-side.

    Palo Alto is an affectionately weird mix of California egalitarianism and Silicon Valley Venture Capitalism. I only come to the city for health care at Stanford Medical Center, which is world class, all the way!

    It was a good hotel, very comfortable but if you want a meal in the evening or weekend forget it. The hotel does not serve meals during those times. I will go to the Courtyard next time I am in the area.

    We needed a place to stay close to Stanford and Coronet Motel was perfect. If we need to return, we will definitely stay there again. We were so pleased with the size of the room which included a breakfast table, sofa, desk and private bedroom. It is not new, but very clean and well kept up.

    The Stanford University campus is worth a visit and a guided tour if you can book one. The Baylands nature preserve is a beautiful place to take a walk or just relax. Shopping and eating at the Stanford Shopping Mall with its variety of large and small shops is delightful.

    Modern, immaculate and well-appointed suites. Exceptional staff! Outlet to charge our EV. I won't be staying anywhere else on my periodic trips to Palo Alto as long as they keep this up. Our trip was complicated by a need to change dates of stay when we tested positive for COVID ( first time ever, even though we are both front line health care workers) and they couldn't have been more accommodating when we suddenly felt ill and needed to stay. They even booked my extended reservation for me when they could tell I wasn't well.

    This motel really exceeds expectations for the budget. Very clean and comfortable. If you are only one or two people I recommend the King room vs 2 beds. Has a separated bed area and living area with sofa, reducing street noise. Also small kitchenette - almost a suite. The staff were super helpful and flexible with several changes in bookings, one change in room. The location is perfect - close to Stanford and to California Ave with many restaurants etc. My second stay and I will return next time in Palo Alto.
