When you're planning a trip to Palo Alto, you might be wondering whether you should stay in a motel or a hotel. Both have their pros and cons, but motels can be a great option for budget-conscious travellers.
Motels usually offer basic amenities like a bed, a television, and a bathroom, and they're often cheaper than hotels. This makes them a great option for people who are on a tight budget or who are travelling with a large group.
Motels can also be a great choice for families. They often have more room than hotels, and they're usually more affordable. Plus, many motels offer children's programmes and babysitting services, which can be helpful for parents who want to take a break from their kids.
However, there are some things to consider before choosing a motel. For example, some motels are located in less-than-ideal areas, and they may not have as many amenities as hotels. So, be sure to do your research before making a decision.
Ultimately, the decision of whether to stay in a motel or a hotel depends on your budget and your needs. But if you're looking for a budget-friendly option that offers plenty of room, a motel might be the best choice for you.
