    Relaxing hotel, fairly clean, nice staff, location to shopping center was favourable! The breakfast was fantastic and amazing with good coffee and potatoes, as for instance and frequently replenished. The room for value. Location: the property was near Stanford University and the Silicon Valley and San Francisco and the Lucent.

    lackluster view

    The view is lackluster, focusing on a narrow dirty ledge that doesn't really inspire. There were issues with billing. I noticed a $50 refundable damage fee instead of the expected $25 listed online. The breakfast offerings are underwhelming if you're after fresh produce, leaving most options heavily processed-something I didn't expect around this area.

    good stay with a few minor shortcomings

    The location near Stanford is a huge benefit. The complimentary breakfast was a good surprise, with tasty options.

    The room size felt a bit cramped.

    spacious room
    breakfast buffet
    garden area
    heating delay

    I had a lovely stay with a spacious beautiful king room that felt both modern and cozy. The breakfast buffet was a real treat with freshly baked goods. The sunny terrace and garden area were perfect. Only downside was that the heating took a while to kick in when I first arrived, but overall, it was a fantastic experience 😊

    The beautiful king room was spacious and clean. The hotel is conveniently located near a shopping mall. Breakfast had some nice options, and the giant jacuzzi spa was a hit. The standout service came from the staff.

    safety concerns

    The location is great, just a quick drive to Stanford and restaurants nearby. The hotel needs maintenance. The furnishings are a bit worn and there were safety concerns with the layouts. The breakfast was decent and the staff was friendly, but overall, it felt a bit lacking.

    The room was spacious and modern with a cozy ambiance, which exceeded my previous stay in menlo park. The breakfast selection included freshly baked pastries and quality coffee, and the staff were friendly and cute.

    convenient location
    clean room
    loud environment
    unfulfilled request
    inconsistent service

    The location is convenient for accessing nearby amenities, and the room was modern and well-kept. I appreciated the complimentary breakfast and the availability of a Bluetooth printer in the lobby. The noise levels from the street and nearby train make it difficult to relax, and my request for a quieter room went unfulfilled. The management lacks consistency in addressing guest preferences, which can be quite frustrating.

    Really good Breakfast and Friendly Staff

    The breakfast buffet was fantastic, with fresh scrambled eggs, fruits, and a Starbucks coffee machine for a custom brew. The staff were helpful. The noise from the busy street outside could be bothersome at times.
