Muneeb AnwarDecember 20, 2014Booking 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. 😅- Nicole SaundersMay 16, 2014Small 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.
- James AlexanderJanuary 12, 2011Recently 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.
Ross SheingoldOctober 30, 2013Holy 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.
- Nicole SaundersMay 16, 2014Staff is very friendly and helpful. However, Wifi is highly unreliable, and there's no "business center" of any sort.
Garry GoldenApril 9, 2011Great hotel...small but clean modern industrial style... perfect location... dinner at Januun (?) Indian close by is nice option
Tim WilsonNovember 16, 2011The breakfast...is fantastic. Slightly altered each day. Good, simple variety. And the WSJ!
Louise MevelJanuary 4, 2014Conveniently located, downtown Palo Alto. Friendly staff. Missing a gym. No windows, so not a glimpse of daylight in the rooms...- Erik van der PluijmMay 10, 2013Use 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.
Nik SourisMay 6, 2013Literally a crash pad (~80% of horizontal space is mattress) with a cool dry erase whitewall to write on.
Becca BernsteinSeptember 9, 2011Hip hotel. But I'd go for less art & more coffee. (No coffeemaker in the room!)
Florent PeyreMarch 3, 2011Smallest rooms of my life outside of Tokyo although you're in center Palo alto
Bindi KariaMay 31, 2013This 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!
