I really enjoyed staying here on a Saturday night. I found parking, the hotel was quiet, I got my key quickly, I loved how I didn’t need any code for Wi-Fi. The rooms have amazing blackout shades that work well and keep 100% of the light out. The two things that they could enhance is the size and quality of the bath towels. In the morning I had free coffee which tasted good. I’m a semi pro coffee bean roaster so I know my coffee. The only thing I didn’t care for was the eggs and sausage, but it’s decent enough and didn’t feel sick to my stomach afterwards. I highly recommend this spot for the quality and price on a weekend.

The Nest is an example of really good marketing. The website carefully selects images and videos to make it appear to be a luxury hotel.It is not. Instead it is a deteriorating motel that had been remodeled at some point. Think economy lodging with lipstick. The staff are absolutely amazing however. They called and offered to move me to a different room, but I doubt that would help. Nowhere in the website does it suggest rooms with doors opening to the outside. I went back and checked. I would not have booked here.

Super clean room and very comfortable bed. Perfect location if you’re seeing a show at Shoreline or attending a Stanford event.
