Positive Reviews
positive:
Acceptable rooms
Although some guests find the rooms a little too modest, most agree they are clean and have comfortable beds. Amenities such as fridges and microwaves are old but efficient. Plus, the Wi-Fi connection is strong and some guests found a handy USB charging bank in their room. The bathrooms are found to be spotlessly clean.
positive:
Competitive rates
Hotels in Palo Alto don't typically run cheap. Hence, for a fair number of guests, the Comfort Inn presents an attractively priced option. The rates are competitive for the area and you won't need to leave extra room in your budget for essentials like parking and Internet access.
positive:
Decent location
The location of the Comfort Inn Palo Alto is a highlight for some guests. Nearby shops and restaurants are plentiful. Plus, the hotel is convenient for those guests attending a concert at the Shoreline Amphitheater. If you want to explore further afield, downtown San Jose and San Francisco are within easy reach.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some noise
Several guests mention that they found this hotel a little noisy. Its location off a busy road means you'll be able to hear some traffic noise. Furthermore, some guests complain that the internal soundproofing between adjacent rooms is poor.
negative:
Breakfast may disappoint
Few guests are impressed by the free breakfast. The food itself seems okay, but the menu lacks choice. Also, the dining area choices are a room without windows or an outside table next to the hotel parking lot.
negative:
No leisure facilities
The lack of leisure facilities at this hotel is a source of concern for guests. Despite its good location, the absence of a swimming pool, a hot tub, and a fitness room leads several guests to comment that this hotel seems geared toward business travelers.
