The rooms are very comfortable and really cute! The room was incredibly clean and the pillows were soft and fluffy. The shower was the best shower I've ever had in my life! It had amazing water pressure and heat and I could have stayed in there forever.

Everything! We dressed up and we to the saloon and had a blast with live music. Motel is very well kept up, hosts are incredible, atmosphere is through the roof. Even got to taste some bagels in the morning, in additional to coffee and pastries provided by the Motel. Also spent some time walking around and met a few city residents, loved the talks and laughs

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.

The location is fabulous, near the main street, you can do a lot just by walking around. There's also free parking on the lot. The room was very spacious and cozy, with a full kitchen available. I was able to do the whole check-in with the lodge remotely, so never really had to talk to the staff face to face.

The location is wonderful. The motel is located on the road but traffic was not heard at all. There is an elevator and big comfortable parking. Actually there are 2 parkings. The room has coffee maker, 2 chairs, TV set, modern renovation, comfortable beds.

We had a good stay at this motel. It was in a quiet location full of trees and greenery. The bed and pillows were decently comfortable. The place is slightly run-down and in need of renovation, but it was clean. Free parking is always great, and we felt safe during our stay there. It was an easy and straightforward check in and check out process. It was overall good value for money. It is a good place for a stop over for a good night’s rest. Will recommend.

When we came to LA, it was very easy to find. The motel looks and feels quite safe. We went to the other corner of the road to get food at Colombo's. It was one of the best meals of our trip. The small pool was a little cold, but looked really good. And the room was quite good for the price, including that free parking.
