The morning of July 27 me and my girlfriend woke to crazy amount of ants all over the ceiling and all over our food. I’m sure not all rooms were affected but this had to be the worst experience. Never going back

The location of this property in Palo Alto is really good. The breakfast served in the office was OK, nothing special. But I will go back there on next visit to Palo Alto.
