Good location, good breakfast, clean with usual amenities, nice fitness center, helpful staff, good price. Would stay t

Liked:We enjoyed our stay at the Zen hotel. - The location was good, as it was midway between places for shopping (Walmart, Target, Trader Joe's...) and the church. - The breakfast was good, the usual for hotels. There was plenty (buffet style), and they had all the options (Eggs, Waffles, Sausages, Toast, Yogurt, Cereals, Coffee, Tea, basic fruits (banana, apple), etc.) - The room was clean and had all the usual amenities. - They had a fitness center which was nice when we needed to stretch our legs after dark. - The staff were helpful. We would stay there again and I think if you have other guests for the church, they would appreciate the location and the service. I don't know what other hotels cost around Palo Alto, but I think the price/per night was good.
