The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

10/10 Excellent
"The young lady on Friday evening was very helpful and courteous. She helped check us in both nights instructions of having me come back each day to check in. She made our stay much more comfortable. We had wasps above our room but was willing to have maintenance help us get rid of them without pesticides. Thank you all for your help!"
