Antonia
The room was very clean and the place is quiet during the night. The AC needs to be colder.
Sepiuta
Motel is on the older side vs. all the big hotels surrounding it in Palo Alto close to Stanford. Unfortunately there was an incident where we had to vacate the room and the staff were great to accommodate us. Everything was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities except a coffee maker without coffee so I reckon you needed to ask for some. We aren’t coffee drinkers so we were fine. There was a nice continental breakfast. All in all it was worth the low price and I would come back again.
Thuy
Rundown in a nice area of town. Need a lot of work.
Tyler-Cristofer

Haris

Minna
Very nice place to stay, very tidy, friendly staff
Spencer
This is a convenient place to stay and best when the rates are under $90.00 a night. The door to the front desk should not be locked during business hours, unless they have security issues.
Christopher
The hotel had a giant TV in the rooms and I was having a good old time watching the world cup for soccer.
Raul
It was a great stay and experience
Gustavo
OK. Good for one night. Solo traveler.
Tess
This is a modest motel with some odd inconsistencies room to room. Whatever, the big plus of Oak Motel is its location location location. Nice little swimming pool too.
Teri
The breakfast was nothing special.
Gail Andrea
The air conditioner wasn’t working.
William
This is a very budget motel that is basically no more than a bed and bathroom. It's clean, but there are signs of aging everywhere from the toilet, shower, curtains, bedding, furniture. The room had a very large new TV. Check in was fine, but the lady was more interested in her phone call than in answering any of my easy questions about check out and breakfast. Breakfast was ok, mostly packaged breads, halfway decent coffee - served European style on a small buffet in the lobby room. Lots of parking outside, and the A/C worked well. This motel is a fraction of the price of others right across the streets, so it you are willing to accept that it's clean but not very nice, it's a good budget option in the area.
Spencer
The staff was very helpful, friendly, and understanding when I had issues with the key cards and retrieving personal items from the room that I had forgotten. I was grateful to have received an upgraded room on the lower level. I enjoy staying here more than where I am living. Carpet is always better, when available.
Christopher
So the bathroom is all little dated but the surrounding area is great and the place is quiet. There was a giant 65 in tv in the room so if you like to watch tv this is the hotel for you.
Antonio
This motel is an oldie but a goodie and bargain.
It's clean, the staff was accommodating and polite.
I had no trouble parking.
If you are in and out for the night this place is fine.

All was good.
Spencer
This is one place I look forward to staying and better than where I am at. The thermostat must remain on for it to work.
kate
lots of parking, a really old hotel, but it was clean. I had appt at Stanford Medical and it was convenient. Lots of more expensive hotels right next to it. For the cost, it was a good deal. Just know it is old. It worked for a night.
rick
yes
Lisa
It’s an old building, but clean and very comfortable. I always stay there when I go to the Bay Area.
Christopher
The thing that I value the most in hotels is that they are quiet. This hotel was extremely quiet.
Patricia
Parking outside my room. Lot was very well lit, in a good Palo Alto neighborhood.
Youssef
Ac and heat worked. Good parking. Cozy sleep.
Spencer
I have not been here in a while, but it is still a good place to stay. It would be better sharing a room with the right person. There are soft chairs and enough space for extra items from home. There is a wide screen television in front of the bed and a table in front, which can be moved to either side. Bring a DVD player with an HDMI cable, if possible because there is nothing really good on television now and the older shows are much better. The maids should set the clocks to the correct time, even if it is just the microwave. They usually miss some spots while cleaning and I find some trash behind or under items. I like the early check-in time of 1:00 P.M., rather than 3:00 P.M. at most places and that we can leave the key card in the room if checking out early.
Sukhjinder
Great cheap place to stay. Very clean and nice staff.
Melina
It was clean . Parking spaces good. Feel safe. Cleaning staff very nice. Air conditioning and heating working properly. Good amenities.. bathroom may need few upgrade but nothing mayor.. we where there for a family trip to the hospital we love it because is super close to the hospital food and market and the place is really quite. I DO RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. AND FOR SURE COME BACK.

Check in was good. Hotel is very old and the floor was cracked the bathroom sink was rusted and the toilet paper holder was broken.
Zaoyuan
Had a fantastic experience at Oak Motel. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Everything was well-maintained and made for a relaxing visit. Highly recommend!
Yvonne
Check in staff was friendly but the room was dirty and in need of repairs. The floor was broken in several places, the toilet roll holder was broken, the mismatched furniture looked like it was pieced together from thrift shops. The bathroom was dirty with hairs in the tub and on the floor and I squashed at least 5 ants before I even used the toilet. For the same price, I switched to a different motel down the street that was clean and included breakfast.
Heather
Don't stay here
It was close to Stanford medical which was nice, but it was so dirty. I did not want to shower it was that dirty. There was hair all in the bathroom a booger on the tissue box. There was something on the bed i have no idea what is was. I have pictures, but for some reason i cant download them?
Amy N
The motel was in an area with a lot of other hotels, so that was nice. The staff was nice and it was an easy check in and out. The stay was just for sleep while my sister was in the hospital. It was nice to have a fridge and a microwave in the room, but felt like the air couldn’t keep the room cool, and it was loud. I had read that the mattresses were creaky from other reviews, but didn’t expect them to be as loud as they were! Anytime anyone would move or get out of bed, it would wake the other person up. Lots of banging noises outside our room one of the nights, like they were fixing something at 9pm. We didn’t use the pool. It was about 10-15minutes to the Stanford Medical center.
Rowan
Great stay
CJ
Terrible customer service. Water on the bathroom floor, people knocking at my door at 2am. Dirty towels…I will never ever stay there again
Rowan

Verified traveler
Comfortable place to stay.
Had trouble getting in the room with the key but that was taken care of. Late at night there was construction across the street until around 11:00. Dead End Street so no continuous traffic. Overall a good place to stay. Unusual to see a Bible in the dresser
Andre
It was a good stay
Konstantinos
In general is ok
CARLOS
Outdated property.
Air/Heater very old, Very noise, not working Properly.
Curtains did not close completely, allowing light from outside to enter the room.

It was great for what we needed
Simon
Room rate was expensive for the quality of the room needs a remodel or an upgrade to bring it up to the standard of other hotels in the area
Manas
Overall stay was fine, room service was good with friendly maids ( they spoke some English). Reasonable price. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. Their soap could be of better quality. Lot better than a Motel 6! But no breakfast or restaurant on site. Has a pool!

Would not stay again
No coffee anywhere on the property. First Room that i was given wasnt clean or ready to occupy. 2nd room wasnt much better.
Verified traveler
My room had an amazingly comfortable mattress. I slept very well.
The big problem for me was the terrible WiFi. I was staying in Palo Alto for business and needed WiFi with real bandwidth. The WiFi at this Hotel is simply insufficient.

eddy
Adequate
Basic place. It was adequate. Wifi was slow if you are on the 2nd floor.
Diane
Big disappointment
This place needs a major update. It was clean and the TV worked great, but the bed was creaky and 2 hard pillows. The toilet was low to the ground and the floor near the bathroom and closet was cracking as I think the layer underneath was probably rotten. There was a refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine, but they only provided \"instant\" coffee packets. There was no USB plugin in the entire pace and the wake-up call we requested never happened. There was a great place to eat across the street (Dinah's Poolside Restaurant) and we were wishing we had booked a room over there.
Melina
My personal Experience
It was a one night stay.. very reasonable price. They give what they offer. Very quiet place to stay a rest very comfortable beds we stay in a to beds room. Really appreciate that they had microwave, fridge and coffee maker in the room. That help us out a lot with our daughter foods. FAN AND AC Unit worked really good..Really friendly people working in the front desk. Room it was clean.. It may have little older furniture and structures but do not interfere with a Good overall experience.. Fully Recommended.
Louise
I loved that the floors were not carpeted. It made the room feel cleaner. The bathroom fixtures were older, which I didn’t mind but I could have done without the cockroach I found in the bathroom. The area outside in front of our door smelled like pee. It looked clean though, I guess maybe it came from people, letting their dogs pee in a patch of dirt out front.
william
nice location and decent price but some rooms are good while others aren't

my first room was really nice but i had to move to a second room that wasn't as nice so i left

The room is a fire hazard.
Multiple powerbars are plugged into the wall outlet. One powerbar had a second powerbar plugged into it. The smoke detector was in the desk drawer. It did not have a battery in it.

Cleaner rooms needed
Room floors were dirty, towels had stains, hair everywhere including under the blankets, fridge was dirty inside, Front office called me saying i needed to pay more money after i had paid in full on hotels.com. Did have a big screen tv though.
Nick
Perfect for a few nights. Better than expected based on the price… and the other reviews. It was a clean room with a nice big TV and a working air conditioner, what more could you ask for! A fridge… and a microwave… that’s what more you could ask for, and they got it! Hospitality was great as well. Thanks for the stay!
Frank
Ok location price is lower than most surrounding rooms. Just a 60 older built motel
Frank
Very Nice Staff and rooms. Lobby Guest Computers need upgrading old and SLOW
Frank
Pice point was more than half others. Its a room. Clean as a 1960 motel could be
E. Jennifer
The front lobby was locked and only had a little slot to talk with the attendant. When I went into the hotel room the bathroom was filthy. Urine on the toilet seat and something disgusting in the tub. They did give me a new room but seriously. This was absolutely unacceptable.
