The Palo Alto Inn

The Palo Alto Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This is by far one of the BEST hotel experiences we've had. We stay at hotels frequently as my son in law works for a large corporate hotel chain and this place totally out does them all. Check in was easy and pleasant. The gentleman helping us was so sweet and offered us complimentary drinks and snacks and a chocolate candy. Even gave us the option of ground floor which I highly appreciated as I don't do well with stairs. The room was immaculate! Clean, sanitized and had fresh flowers in both the room and bathroom. And let me tell you about the garden.. Zen overload 😌 We sat outside for hours after our event just sipping wine. Definitely will be back and HIGHLY recommend! Absolutely incredible and the price was amazing for what we got. 10/10 !"
