Travelodge by Wyndham Palo Alto Silicon Valley

The two-pearl Travelodge Palo Alto Silicon Valley’s top selling points are price and location. It’s set on a busy road that runs straight into Stanford University in less than two miles. Restaurants are within walking distance, and tech giants like Google and Apple are short drives away. But, it’s a no-frills, motel-style property with exterior corridors and no elevator service to second-floor rooms. Freebies are limited to a sparse continental breakfast, Wi-Fi, and tight parking that’s not guaranteed. Rooms are clean and well-equipped, but small and basic. Rates are attractive in a notoriously expensive area. Travelers might want to compare rates with Hotel Parmani, another no-frills, budget property that’s across the street.  

Campanile Lyon Centre – Gare Perrache – Confluence

Functionality, location, and bold color choices make this budget hotel appealing. It offers mostly simple amenities and few frills in the often tight-spaced 87 rooms. The only real variable is the number of beds. Common areas offer a bit more, both in terms of decor and services, with a quirky lounge and bar serving drinks and light meals. A simple continental breakfast costs extra. As the hotel hosts many business travelers, three meeting rooms are also available. With a major transport station (Perrache train and bus station) almost immediately next door, many of Lyon’s sights can be reached by foot within 20 minutes. For those who want to be even closer, consider the hotel’s second branch, Campanile Lyon Centre – Berges Du Rhone.
