Nice large room with small fridge and microwave. Very clean. Good maid service. Breakfast was included but i never tried it. Convenient parking lot. I had no complaints other than the internet (free WIFI) didn't work well. I actually connected to the free WIFI from the hotel across the street and it was much faster. For the price it's a... More

We were very pleased to find such a comfortable, clean, quiet and well-equipped room at a reasonable price in Palo Alto. The owner was very courteous and helpful and the breakfast was simple and adequate. More

This is the price range of motel where you go because you need a place to stay, not because you expect it to be nice; the most you hope for is no horror stories. The upshot: No horror stories to report, this time anyway. More

We did not get to use the pool as we stayed such a short amount of time.... More

I have noticed the Oak Motel in Palo Alto for years since I live in the area. It has always looked tiny and clean from the front. When my boyfriend and I stayed there while he was visiting the Bay Area, I booked a room since it was affordable. The room was very clean and it was nice to have... More

Because my husband had several tests and surgeries at Stanford, we've used the Oak Motel more than six times between November 2007 and February 2008, and each time it was consistently clean and affordable. The first night we stayed in Palo Alto was at the Palo Alto Lodge - HORRIBLE!! Then we found the Oak Motel and decided it was... More
