The Stanford Motor Inn is conveniently located near Stanford University. However, it is just a motel - and exactly what you expect a motel to be. Rooms all face a central parking area and pool, and every room has its own air conditioning unit. All windows have security latches which prevent them from opening more than a half inch. The room felt a bit dated. Our room had new-looking, white duvet covers on the beds. But the bottom (flat) sheet on the bed moved around when you slept, creating a lot of wrinkles (I don't like sleeping on rumpled sheets). Plus, the bottom sheet was just a bit too short, so my feet kept contacting the blanket that they placed under the bottom sheet (which was not a pleasant feeling). All of this could have been solved if they had just used a larger flat sheet for the bottom sheet. The bathroom was decent - the shower water pressure was good and the water got hot quickly. The room also had a microwave oven and refrigerator. The people in the office were pleasant, and they offer packaged pastries and granola bars in the morning. Overall, I'd say that this is a decent, budget motel. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.

I needed a place to stay when a conference hotel overbooked; Stanford Motor Inn was inexpensive and convenient. It’s definitely an older style of motel but the staff is exceptionally pleasant and friendly, and the rooms are clean and well-maintained.

The staff made the stay great. This is an older property, but clean. There is no elevator, which is good to know. There was coffee, microwave and mini fridge in the room.
