"Clean, safe, basic boutique hotel in east Palo Alto."

This is a great little gem in the heart of East Palo Alto, walking distance to plenty of great food and drink spots, relaxed atmosphere but clean and elegantly decorated. Room is basic but very clean and updated, comfortable bed, Great air flow, lighting, large shower, but no view from the small window.
