Top Palo Alto Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Palo Alto

Comfort Inn Palo Alto

8/10 Good
"Nice staff, but price increasing to what it is are a bit steep for what it is and room had maint issues. Air conditioning was not working in the room correctly. It would turn off about 5 minutes and you could not turn it back on had to just run it in fan mode so it was hot in the room. The toilet you had to hold down the lever for it to flush which was not as near of a big deal and would not be mentioned if not for the AC in the middle of summer. Also they started charging 10 dollars for parking. Which is mentioned on Hotels.com, but I missed as it used to be free there. So room going up about 30% plus 10 dollars for parking on top of that just seems like a steep raise in cost to me."
