Pros

Cons

Continental breakfast limited to basic items
“The Stanford Motor Inn, a family-owned establishment in Palo Alto, clearly aims to balance affordability with personalized service near Stanford University. While the Inn's location is convenient and its commitment to cleanliness is evident in its enhanced measures and contactless service, a reported lapse raises concerns about consistency, undercutting its strengths. The proximity to El Camino Road means easy access, yet a quiet atmosphere prevails, valuable for business and medical travelers seeking respite.”
