This is an older motel that was tastefully but cheaply remodeled and that is now fully self-service with no staff on site. What I liked: very clean, close to Stanford, affordable, everything you may need available in the room (Nespresso machine, kettle, fridge, microwave, iron, cookies, coffee, water, tea, nice toiletries, white noise machine, and earplugs). What bothered me: virtually no sound insulation and no option for luggage storage. I don't remember ever staying at a hotel with this much background noise and ended up running the white noise machine on high volume continuously. Traffic, people walking by, and the loud fridge all made for not-so-great sleep. The curtains were also not exactly blackout and if you forgot to close the bathroom door the light from the window was also very bright in the morning. Overall, I am grateful for an affordable and clean hotel not too far from Stanford but will probably go with a quieter option next time.
