My stay at Stanford Inn was quite disappointing. The location was convenient for my visit to Stanford, but the lack of cleanliness and absent staff really soured the experience. While the room was spacious, the condition of the facilities and amenities left much to be desired.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. On one hand, the quaint atmosphere and spacious accommodations were a nice touch, especially the kitchenette and charming old floorboards. However, the overall cleanliness left much to be desired, and I noticed some maintenance issues that detracted from my comfort.

My stay at the Stanford Inn was a mix of charming features and significant issues. I loved the quaint atmosphere and the spaciousness of the room, but I was disappointed with the cleanliness and maintenance. While the inn is perfectly located near Stanford, the overall experience was clouded by the state of the facilities.
