Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    This place offered great value for the price! The location was good, there were restaurants within walking distance, which was convenient. The room itself was quite spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was good. There was also ample free parking available on-site, which was a plus. Overall, I can't complain - it was a great stay!

    Friendly staff. Well-managed mid-century modern (built 1951) motel on Camino Real near California Ave (with its lotsa good restaurants). Good bike rental shop 'Bike Connection' 3 blocks north. Enjoyed free Cantor & Anderson Art Museums at Stanford Univ.

    Great hospitality with an excellent location in Palo Alto. Stores and bistros are nearby. A little fitness centre is next to the swimming pool. Easy access to M101 and free parking add more value. Once you experience this, you won’t be easily satisfied in any other hotels.
