Right next to the mall, and there are quiet paths you can take to Downtown Palo Alto and some great restaurants. The hotel is fine, it’s a standard Best Western. It’s a shame it looks out on El Camino and not on some of the parks or campus around. The old-style elevator is cute, and our kids loved the waffle breakfast; the staff were very helpful with them using the waffle maker. Oh yeah, the coffee is terrible, but Bluebottle is a short walk away in the mall.
