Very small hotel but located in the prime location of downtown Palo Alto. Perfect for a short stay and if you don’t plan on staying in the room for a prolong amount of time.

First, stay alert, because if you blink you will miss it! We drove past it twice because we didn't see it. But once we found it, we were pleasantly surprised. It's a quaint, vibey little hotel within walking distance to great downtown restaurants and entertainment. Yes, the rooms are small, but it was clean, had everything we needed, and the bed/pillows were extremely comfortable. Plus, breakfast is included and there's free parking across the street on weekends. It's a great hotel for the price. One note, it says it's a pet friendly hotel, but there's nowhere for dogs to relieve themselves outside, which is a problem. That's the only reason I gave four stars instead of five.

Very pleasant stay. Great staff and room was clean and modern. Breakfast was healthy and pleasant. Fantastic coffee ( Nespresso at the lobby). Ask for a room away from the kitchen area as they were preparing breakfast items at 5.30/ 6 am and it was so noisy. Over all a very positive experience!

Quaint, clean, and nice

Hotel Keen is perfect for my stays in Palo Alto for track meets at Stanford. It is next to dining and shopping options and a short walk to Stanford’s campus. Yhry have a bike to use and even had an umbrella to use when it was raining.

Clean and comfortable in a great area. Excellent. Little breakfast. My only criticism is that I want a real door on the bathroom. I cannot imagine why architects think it's cool to put Windows and partial doors in front of toilets.
