Booking Pro Tip: If you need a closet or any storage space at all get a premium/deluxe room. Living out of a suitcase? Any other room is fine. 😅

Small rooms, but nicely appointed and modern. They do free wine "tastings" (really just free wine) at 5pm M-Th and warm cookies in the lobby at 8pm. Love that one wall is dry-erase painted, too.

Recently opened and newly renovated rooms. Rates start at $125 and you are in the heart of downtown. PS. A wall in the room doubles as a white board for late night musings.

Holy crap, these rooms are small! And with $300+ rates, it is reminiscent of NYC hotel pricing... But smaller! Still, the room layout is thoughtful and comfortable for its size.

Walls are thin. But they have whiteboard wallpaper, so it kind of makes up for it.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. However, Wifi is highly unreliable, and there's no "business center" of any sort.

Great hotel...small but clean modern industrial style... perfect location... dinner at Januun (?) Indian close by is nice option

The breakfast...is fantastic. Slightly altered each day. Good, simple variety. And the WSJ!

Nice hotel with a fantastic location.

Conveniently located, downtown Palo Alto. Friendly staff. Missing a gym. No windows, so not a glimpse of daylight in the rooms...

Use the walls as a whiteboard and do some visual thinking while you're here!

If you get room 201 ask to get moved. It overlooks the lobby and it is right next to the elevator.

Small but clean rooms. Loved that one wall was a white board.

Literally a crash pad (~80% of horizontal space is mattress) with a cool dry erase whitewall to write on.

Cool and trendy and great location, but tiny.

Hip hotel. But I'd go for less art & more coffee. (No coffeemaker in the room!)

Smallest rooms of my life outside of Tokyo although you're in center Palo alto

Very boutique-- small spaces, tiny rooms.

This hotel is bizarre for a boutique.... Walls *not* soundproof, thought someone was trying to break in room all night. Had the worst room possible above reception. Never ever ever stay in room 201!

Park in the unloading zone!

Checked in. Small room, no bathtub, but clean and tidy.

Enjoy the ghosts from the SRO that used to occupy the building

Nice place a block from Downtown

Great place to crash after playing all night in downtown P.A.

Watch the paper thin walls.
