The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

8/10 Good
"This is a perfectly nice, no-frills hotel. The room and bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff was pleasant and helpful in finding us a secure place to park our bicycles overnight. The breakfast, however, was sub-par. The eggs and potatoes were inedible and the oatmeal was watery. I wouldn't stay here if breakfast being included was a big motivation, but if you just want a nice room, you will enjoy your stay."
