Overall stay was fine, room service was good with friendly maids ( they spoke some English). Reasonable price. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. Their soap could be of better quality. Lot better than a Motel 6! But no breakfast or restaurant on site. Has a pool!

My room had an amazingly comfortable mattress. I slept very well.
The big problem for me was the terrible WiFi. I was staying in Palo Alto for business and needed WiFi with real bandwidth. The WiFi at this Hotel is simply insufficient.

The oak motel is an older bare Bones motor inn but the Price is Right it's impeccably clean and though it's a bit on the older side everything works so if you need a place to stay and you don't need fancy this is a great place
