"Smallest room we ave ever stayed in for very high prices"

Good

Location, common areas

Bookings listed the room at 300 sq ft, but all of the rooms in this class we were told were 187 sq ft. Disabled rooms were a little over 200 sq feet. This is false advertising. We had about 3 ft in each direction beyond the bed. The hotel blamed Booking for the misinformation and could not provide a room any larger.

Location was perfect - on Palo Alto's Main Street with shops and restaurants, good location for walks to Stanford and suburbs. Great decor and reception to work in.

Roof top bar was undergoing renovation.
