I stayed at the Palo Alto Inn for one night while attending a show at Shoreline, and everything from check-in to check-out was fantastic! The general manager personally checked us in — he was super friendly and made sure we had a great room in a quiet area. The room itself was spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable (we honestly wished we could’ve taken them home!), and the bathroom was well-stocked with all the essentials — plus extras in case we’d forgotten anything. The water pressure was perfect, which is always a huge bonus. We also appreciated the thoughtful outdoor seating area for smokers — it was clean, comfortable, and nicely arranged. Overall, it was an excellent stay with great hospitality and attention to detail. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in the area! ##### Christina Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrei Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel was very nice, clean, comfortable and friendly. ##### Andrei Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### shiming Aug 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed at this hotel for one day while on a business trip and had a wonderful experience.
