The Zen Hotel Palo Alto

"The young man that checked me in was so kind and nice. I was concerned about being in the back of the hotel and he moved my room right up front. The room was spotless! Everything looked new. The breakfast was great although I just had yogurt and coffee. It looked very nice. I was very impressed with this hotel especially for the price I paid."
