Haya review category business travellers May 17, 2024
Positives: This motel is an affordable option to stay in a convenient location in Palo Alto CA. It is within walking distance of the California Ave business district and very easy bike or Uber distance to many Stanford and Palo Alto locations. A nice surprise (not all the rooms have this) is that our 2 double bed room had a full kitchenette with a more sizeable than usual mini refrigerator, an actual oven, and many kitchen supplies. Parking and wifi were free, as were bottled water, coffee and tea in the motel office during business hours. We had everything we needed. Staff were responsive and friendly, and both in the reservations process and onsite, delivered personalized and kind service. We were traveling with an elderly person and the ground level motel access was extremely helpful. We never tried the breakfast so I can't comment on that. The value here is unbeatable in Palo Alto. Palo Alto has plenty of eateries not far away.
Negatives: The exterior paint needs freshening, the outdoor grounds are mostly the parking lot and a mural, and the rooms are dated. There is no restaurant (although there is free breakfast at an outdoor seating area outside the motel office) or room service, but this is as expected for a drive up motel. For us, these things were minor negatives considering the warm welcome, the convenience of having the kitchen, and the reasonable pricing which made this trip possible.

Positives: The person who checked me in was excellent! His customer service skills were superb! I forgot my toothbrush and he gave me a new one with some toothpaste. The location is about 15 minutes to the VA.
Negatives: The smell. It smells like old cigarettes, just old carpet that holds the smell. Please change the carpets… It triggered my asthma really bad coughing my lungs out and fighting for my inhaler. I opened the window to let some fresh air into the musky room. The sheets were pretty clean except for a stray hair and some fuzz, which wasn’t mine. I hope they change and wash the sheets each time someone new comes to stay.
