Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The food in the restaurant is almost inedible. The fry's were undercooked and luke warm. The Spaghetti and Meatball tasted like the spaghetti caqme out of a nd with a can of chopped tomatoes and a very dry large meatball. The whole thing had been microwaved to death. They didn't make the bed even though I asked for service. Overall poor, only redeeming feature is it is clean.

Great room. Quiet

Pretty nice compared to last place we stayed at down the street. Here for business. It was surprisingly quiet (we don’t live in a city) and the people were friendly. Will come again next time we have to stay in Palo Alto
