"This is a great “lower cost” option for Palo Alto. Nostalgic and cute. If you’re here for business or out to see sites in the area it’s perfect! If you’re looking for all the frills, a restaurant someone to help you with your bags, this is not for you. We enjoyed it and it was very close to all we wanted to do."
