Good hotel but know before...

Liked: The location can't be beat--it's in the center of downtown and not a bad walk to Stanford University. Room prices are more affordable than competing hotels in the area. There is no shortage of great restaurants nearby. And the lobby is beautiful and inviting.
Disliked: This hotel doesn't have air conditioning, some rooms have shared bathrooms, and you must park at public garages because there is no parking at the hotel. That being said, each room has a ceiling fan and the hotel provides an individual fan in the closet. Most rooms have their own bathroom. And public parking is generally very available at the Palo Alto City Hall (and free on the weekends). Unfortunately, there are no screens on the windows to prevent bugs from entering if the window is open.

A wonderful and unique hotel...

Liked: The staff are fantastic, especially Christian who gave us a little tour of some of the beautiful original features of the hotel. It’s so charming. Rooms were large and airy and clean.
Disliked: Note that there is no aircon but there is a ceiling fan in the room.
