If he charges $450/night and is 100% full and keeps 100% of the proceeds (no salaries, taxes, utilities) then he'll make his money back in 5 years. What a bargain.

Yes, because real estate values remain flat and never go up in Palo Alto. Hell the value of my house alone has doubled the price I paid 8 years ago
and I've done nothing to it what so ever(sorry neighbors, I have a to-do list though)

I think we're seeing why Larry is able to buy hotels on a whim and you're here complaining about his bad investments. So we should listen to you because you're NOT the wealthiest man in the Bay Area and you have NOT built a reputation of ruthlessly savvy investments over the past decades?
Interesting suggestion

He should change his last name to Allison, because he wants to buy All real estate. He's in his 70s and will be surrounded with silver dollars before long.
