Property was well kept up. It was near train tracks,but I didn’t hear any noise,maybe because it was from Saturday to Sunday? The room was clean and bigger than expected, it came with a nice sized patio. I will be staying here again when I visit the Bay Area.

Very nice hotel that’s conveniently located in the heart of Menlo Park and close to Stanford. Room was clean, but walls are very thin. I could hear our neighbors next door clearly. The train is also very loud when it passes through. I appreciated the breakfast and friendly staff.
