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

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.
