Country Inn Motel

It was a great experience.
Nice clean rooms.
John was so helpful.
Prices were best around.
Close to services I needed.
Good location to hospitals but not food.
Good choices for light breakfast.

You will «not» find a cheaper stay in this area. The prices near Stanford Hospital are insane. This motel is clean, updated and affordable. Free wifi as well.
It is privately owned so it feels cozy. Walls are thin but they provide earplugs and that «really» helps.
You may find a cheaper motel but it will most likely be a dump.
This is a sweet little oasis.

We had an early appointment at Standford Medical Center, so we chose to drive in and stay the night near the hospital, rather than fight morning traffic and a 2+ hour drive.
The check in and check out was painless. The room was adequate (1 king). The air conditioning system was a bit unusual and noisy, but did the job. The room was clean and had the necessary basics. The bed was very firm, which I like, but the wife thought it was a bit too firm.
The bathroom was remodeled, but in an odd sort of way. Not much if any counter space near the sink. I believe the room we ended up in was a Handicap Access room, so that probably played a big part in the sparse bathroom.
Room seemed a standard motel type room, not hotel. The grounds outside appeared well kept and clean. The room was about $ 150+ all the taxes and whatnot… in a bigger city this would be a sub $ 100/​night motel for sure.
The complimentary breakfast was packaged pastries, oatmeals and cereal with packaged beverages that were simply placed on the front desk counter.
No complaints, just basic lodging.

This was a wonderful place. Great people, very comfortable, nicely updated rooms, wonderful area, and great price for the value! John was so wonderful and welcoming! We will be back!

Probably the cleanest hotel I have stayed in. The value is great & is definitely cheaper than comparable hotels in San Jose. Parking is easy & check-​in is open until 11PM. There’s free complimentary breakfast that includes some pastries, juices, yogurt & coffee in the lobby. My room was extremely clean & the bathroom was spacious with a window for ventilation. The sheets were clean & the ceiling fan was nice to keep me cool @ night. The TV offered cable channels that I used to have when I was a teenager so it was nostalgic. Even the walkways outside the door were super clean & well maintained. I didn’t go to the pool area so I cannot make comment on that but if it was anything like the rest of the motel grounds & my motel room, I am sure it was super clean. The décor in the hotel was classy & in great condition. We got a white shower mat rather than a towel which I thought was a homey touch. You’ll see the hotel owners there on site. It’s a private family owned hotel & I’d easily recommend this place to anyone.

The European Couple who run this place are fantastic. Without them it could be real shoddy.
Great family feel. Like stepping back to 1955.
Palo Alto is a fecal explosion of a city, but this motel is the best in the entire Bay Area.
Very nice.

Cute tranquil country setting. Very nicely updated rooms and bathroom. Owners are nice. My only complaint was that the walls are so thin. I’m not sure if it was just our room but my wife and I can hear everything next door. As I’m sure they could here us too. I would stay here again but request a quieter room.

Very pretty setting clean comfortable room. Excellent service and would recommend and stay again. Walking distance to a variety of restaurants and shopping centers. Close to Stanford and other Bay Area attractions. Reasonable price for the area.

Don’t let the name «motel» fool you. Although it is a motel, it is better appointed and maintained than many high-​end hotels. John and Barbara, the proprietors, clearly care deeply about the property and the care of their guests.
The property has a small but well-​kept pool, plus BBQ grills for the guests’ use. Lovely flowerbeds and walkways criss-​cross the property, with comfortable tables for outdoor dining. The rooms are updated, with modern furniture and bathroom fixtures. Although I only spent one night here, I could easily see staying here for an extended period if necessary. All in all, a great place to stay if you’re in the area.

Very clean, reasonably priced option in great area! We stay here for all of our stanford/​Lpch appointments and are never disappointed! Great place to stay, and we stay often!

Lovely place. I stayed here for one night and the place is very clean and cozy
Nice welcome at the front desk
I will definitely stay here again.

Great friendly service in a nice area. The room is very clean and they have a heated pool great price also.

My family and I have stayed here three times in the past year. Awesome experience every time. Super clean, great pool /​bbq area, fast wifi and very nice people … Oh yeah affordable and centrally located. Highly recommended

Here for work for a while. Very nice room’s would recommend anyone staying here. Best rooms in town.

This was our second stay here. We had 2 rooms and spent three nights at the Country Inn. It was clean enough however, we were there during a warm weekend, it was in the 80’s. We could not set the air any lower than 77degrees. We could not open the bathroom window or any window. There was no bathroom fan so it was muggy and uncomfortable, after our showers. We will not stay there again.

Very nice place. Highly recommend to come here if you are from out of town. Nice spacious rooms with flat screen tv. Very clean. The only down side is the small 24inch x 24inch shower. But other than that newly remodeled and is beautiful. Hope I was a help.

OVERALL: A moderately priced (for Palo Alto) clean, comfortable motel. Rooms are around a pleasant landscaped area with trees. Most rooms are off the busy El Camino Real so there is no traffic noise. A very pleasant, clean, well maintained pool area. After we booked online we did not get an email confirmation and had to call for one. A wife-​husband team seem to handle all of the office and phone so patience is often necessary with questions or problems.
REFRIG/​MICROWAVE NOT STANDARD IN ALL ROOMS: The two-​bed ground floor room we had did not have a microwave and refrigerator, because there was a kitchen annex that cost an additional $ 20/​night. If you need to refrigerate medicines or need a refrigerator, make sure it comes with the room or that the extra fee is acceptable.
CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST: Coffee quite good but otherwise unremarkable. If you like eggs (even hard boiled eggs) you will not find it at this breakfast offering.
WI-​FI: Not easy to connect to and not particularly fast.
CARD-​LOCK: Works with difficulty for the rooms and does not work at all on one pool access gate.

Our family has been staying here for years. It’s family owned and run. You just cannot find another place like this in Palo Alto! John and Barbara are so kind and always available to offer assistance should something arise. Thank you for such a beautiful clean updated gem to stay.
Enjoy the pool and gorgeous trees and flowers it feels like home

What a great locally owned hotel. Because I travel to the bay area a lot for work, I’m always trying to find reasonable hotels/​motels close to Palo Alto at a reasonable rate, which is often VERY difficult to find. I came across this place while driving past one day. I finally decided to book a few nights and what a pleasant surprise. clean, affordable and modern. Owners are kind and run a great business! I would reccomend to anyone looking for a reasonable place to stay :)

After much research into finding a decent hotel in the area that was not ridiculously over-​priced, I stumbled across this little gem. You won’t find this hotel on expedia, travelocity, etc. The booking is through the website, or via telephone, and the rates are flat rates. $ 105 for one night in a king room was a bargain! The rooms and the hotel are recently renovated. We walked into our room, it was clean, plantation shutters on the windows, clean linens, new television with cable and HBO. The bathroom has a talk in tile shower with glass doors, plantation shutters in the bathroom window, and well as a Victorian (?) style sink. I will always make a reservation here because of the price, the quality, and the location.
