Oak Motel

Good
Traveller Type: solo traveller
  : Great location, family owned and run (I think?), quiet, a comfortable bed, clean a refrigerator that worked and wasn't noisy, a microwave (which I didn't use, so this would be good for a short self-catering budget stay in Palo Alto). There's a small pool which I didn't use, but looks well-maintained and a nice arrangement, with a forested ravine bounding the hotel and giving the pool lounging area a surprisingly natural ambience from looking in.
  : It's old, and it shows. My bathroom tap sprayed and leaked all over the surrounding counter, the coffee machine is definitely showing its age, and in the bathroom there looks to be some significant mould growth that has simply been scrubbed then caulked over. One of the wall-mounted lights by the desk area flickered precariously before I decided to leave it turned off, and the extension cord by the desk looked ... well a bit unnervingly frayed (safe, probably, but a bit unsettling). I'd still say it's good value for the money, but being right across from the marvelous (but much more expensive on weekdays) Dinah's Garden? it's a big difference, is all I'll say. On the other hand, weekday rates in Palo Alto are often outrageous, so I'd still stay here again in a heartbeat for the price I paid.

  : Kind staff, rather clean room, wi-fi. There were towels, disposable soaps and shampoo. Reasonable price. Generally I was satisfied.
  : Noises, you can hear from your room noises from other rooms close to yours and people walking outside. It's a pity there was no kettle.

  : Secure, clean, comfortable. Had a large bathroom, cloth closet, ironing board.walkable to resturants, campus and stores. Liked coffee maker, fridge, microwave - also, the property was next to a little creek and a huge oak tree was shading the stairways, which was charming. Pool area looked very oretty- but we did not use it.
  : Only 2 light weight pillows. No outlets in bathroom and no outlet available in adjoining space due to appliances.- outside railings could use some paint. The front desk personnel were very nice, but not chatty at all- one did not know anything about the local area.
