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!GaryUnited States of America - 6.0Scored 6.0

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.Thomas Arthur - 10Scored 10

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.

- From $172.10 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 593 reviewsThis 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.AmandaUnited States of America
- From $185.32 per night9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 227 reviewsThis is a 50's style motel that has been updated. It sits off the main road of El Camino Real with a courtyard of big oak trees and patio chairs. There is a nice pool and the area around the pool is well furnished. There is always a big jug of water with ice for refreshment. We had a corner room which was quite large and comfortable. Breakfast is brought to your door and was mostly continental, i.e. fruit, yogurt, bagel, etc. It is close to downtown Mt. View, Palo Alto, and Stanford. The value was excellent.RichardUnited States of America
- From $1,364.94 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 21 reviewsThis hotel is really top tier. All the employees, especially the ones at the reception treat you really like guests and not only like customers. The service is outstanding. The room is very probably the best I've been at a hotel. Everything is very comfortable and very clean. Definitely best bath room ever. The restaurant is very good, also the pantry is always filled with great food and beverages. This hotel really lives up to the all inclusive concept. Thank you for the great time there!
JochenGermany - From $450.93 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 940 reviewsDinah’s was such a lovely surprise. The pictures on Booking.com do not do the rooms justice at all. I felt like I was in a resort and the rooms were very spacious with great amenities. The hotel in general was peaceful and I felt very much at home. The staff were all so kind and helpful and even let me do an early check-in which I really appreciated. I will be visiting them again.

IsaFinland - From $248.76 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 226 reviewsThe location can't be beat--it's in the center of downtown and not a bad walk to Stanford University. Room prices are more affordable than competing hotels in the area. There is no shortage of great restaurants nearby. And the lobby is beautiful and inviting.
