It was newly renovated and the rooms were very comfortable, clean and very quiet. We only stayed one night due to a Hospital stay. It was very convenient that they had a happy hour that evening and they served hot dogs and nachos. With a foot ball game on their big screen TV. Very comforting.

My husband was an outpatient at Stanford med center and spent his days in the room, unfortunately pool construction was very loud and made daytime resting impossible. I was able to take advantage of nearby shopping to enjoy my day.

This place was a very good choice. Check-in went extremely quick and the guy at the reception was outstandingly friendly and attentive. I was already greeted by name and he had everything ready so I was done in less than a minute. Even the room was preheated. There were free beverages which was very nice after arriving from a long journey. The room as such was in a great condition. There were enough hangers in the closet, toiletries got restocked daily and cleanliness overall was very good. Can give a 100% recommendation and would definitely stay here again.

    Lots of wonderful restaurants in the area.

    Lots of wonderful restaurants in the area. California Street a little north of the Dinah's is closed to traffic at least on the weekends. Many restaurants along California Street, University Ave. etc. We had dinner at a wonderful Pakistani Restaurant -- Zareen's. good value, very friendly atmosphere. Nearby Stanford Shopping Center, Stanford University. Also plenty to see and do on campus including museum. Great weather.

    Palo Alto, nice neighbour hood which felt safe. I was able to walk from the Caltrain station to the hotel without feeling afraid. Although not much to do in the immediate neighbourhood. Nearby areas like Santa Clara and Hillsdale provided things to do. Great to see the Scharity shop in the area.

    Palo Alto is a great location.

    Palo Alto is a great location. There are several great restaurants near by. I would recommend The Pasta Market, Chef Chu's, Tofu house and the Green Elephant. Touring the Stanford Campus is fun. They have a collection of wonderful Rodin Sculptures. There is always Stanford Shopping mall which has an excellent selection of shops.

    I never knew how beautiful Stanford University was!

    I never knew how beautiful Stanford University was! It is definitely worth a visit. Don't miss the beautiful church and the amazing Art museum. Our hotel was @ a 1 hour walk to downtown Palo Alto, but only a 25 minute walk to the Caltrain station on California Avenue. This street is also like a mini downtown with a few good restaurants and shops. The train ride to the Palo Alto station was less than five minutes.

    I don't know if the price was lower because of the construction in part of the hotel, but I never heard the work being done and It was a fantastic price. The bed and linens are soft and comfortable. The room a good temperature. It was roomy with a comfy couch. The TV worked fine and there were no problems at all. I would recommend this hotel any time.

    This hotel/motel was a great value. It exceeded all expectations. Although rated a 2 Star Hotel, it certainly shows itself better than its rating. Plenty of parking. Very quiet although located on the El Camino. Well appointed rooms. Comfy bed, room was very clean, and furnished very nicely. My wife loved the complimentary soft drinks & snacks offered during check-in. No complaints.

    We've stayed in many hotel/motels in the Palo Alto area over the years. We chose the Coronet as it was closest to the Palo Alto High School Graduation ceremonies. I was a little concerned as the price was so much lower than we usually have to pay in the area. However, what a delightful surprise! It is well staffed, perfectly maintained, comfortable, quiet, free parking, and even a small pool for a dip after a long hot drive. Grab a room if you are looking in this area.

    First night stay with a noisy room due to close to two ventilation machines in calling of neighbour building. Change to another room from 2nd night. Overall perspective satisfies with stays despite 1st night. Staffs are helpful to solve the problem, especially Mr. Nitish is very friendly and try to provide solution. Thank you all and I would recommend this hotel to others. Capability of problem solving is top!

    Great hospitality with an excellent location in Palo Alto. Stores and bistros are nearby. A little fitness centre is next to the swimming pool. Easy access to M101 and free parking add more value. Once you experience this, you won’t be easily satisfied in any other hotels.
