Good enough for an affordable stay. Midway between SFO airport and Palo Alto where Stanford U located. Very convenient with lots of shops around such as Trader Joe. I will stay there again.

They are always nice and accommodating, and you get what you pay for. It is not extravagant, it may or may not be to your liking as it is not new or newly decorated.
