The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent
"The experience was excellent overall. I did have a couple of issues: (1) The fire alarm in my room went off three or four times starting at 7:30 AM one morning. It also went off at about 7:35 and 7:40 and possibly at 7:45. I reported it to the front desk clerk that morning and she was going to have the facilities person take a look at it later that day. I never got any feedback, so I went to a different front desk clerk that evening and she had no information about it. I was concerned that it would go off again the following morning, but thankfully it did not. (I was in room 307.) (2) The breakfast was very good overall, but the oatmeal was very watery. One morning it was almost all liquid as people had fished out the oatmeal. It needs to be made thicker so that this doesn't happen. Thank you for asking for feedback!"
