"Everything we needed for a great time in Palo Alto"

We stayed in your Boston hotel a few weeks ago and when we arrived in Palo Alto and found the hotel we had booked was not satisfactory we checked to see if you had a vacancy. Yay. You did. We enjoyed breakfast every morning, the room was clean and spacious, the iron worked, the bathroom was big and nice, parking was convenient. And the front desk staff were always friendly and helpful, breakfasts were delicious and hot and the staff there worked hard to keep everything clean and serving centres refreshed. We will definitely look first for your brand on future travels. Thanks for taking such good care of us.
