Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel location is great. The room initially looked good and clean, however, it is very clear there was a large water leak in the room at some point as the floors and wall around the shower were swollen. We were unable to close the bathroom door and it fell off the track almost falling down trying to close it. Likewise, there was a generally musty, moist smell and nats in the room. Some of there other rooms may be fine but it just was not the best experience for the price.

I liked it, but…

I liked it, but it lacked basic amenities like a fridge, ice machine. Small room and I could hear my neighbors. I would stay here again but hopefully they offer more.

The location of this property in Palo Alto is really good. The breakfast served in the office was OK, nothing special. But I will go back there on next visit to Palo Alto.

Lovely peaceful experience

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Nest. I am a light sleeper and it was so nice and quiet. The staff were very nice - every single person I interacted with. The room is sufficient with decent sized bathroom and closet space. It is not far from shopping or restaurants. The morning breakfast was delicious and fresh with choices. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
