Only issue was that the room key kept inactivating everyday so that was annoying. Wish the gran and go breakfast had more of a selection. Also they don’t have flavored coffee creamer so bring your own! ##### Maria Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Get away A bit noisy from businesses on a Friday night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emily Dec 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities You could hear everything from the rooms, in the hallway, above you below you. ##### Emily Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally Aug 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 2 day getaway. Room is very small, but clean and tidy. Service was on point at concierge. The breakfast is fine. Simple,but gets the job done. A microwave in the common area would be a plus. ##### Sally Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Paul Jan 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We chose this hotel because of its convenient location only one block away from the train station. It's impressive how this modern hotel was packed into a relatively small space with lots of ingenuity. The room was clean and quiet, the bathroom with shower was good and the bed was comfortable so we slept well. Breakfast in the lobby was modest and included a weird brew from an ultra-modern, space-age coffeemaker. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our short stay as it served our purpose well. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walter Nov 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Not crazy about the open bathroom. ##### Walter Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Benjamin Nov 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities No hot water for a shower in the morning. I heard several other guests complain to the front desk, but my shower was fine at 11a on my first morning. But at 8a on the second morning, barely above ice cold. My other complaint is that the rooms are so tiny, that there is little room on either side of the bed, and the platform is made of wood with sharp corners, so I kept scraping my shins. Ouch. I chose this hotel for its low price: proving that you get what you pay for. Avoid this hotel! ##### Benjamin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 4.5/5 Great Location, Old building has some flaws Hotel Keen is a great place to stay for solo traveler or couple. The building is older so the insulation isn't great, and the rooms are small with no real "livable" area but it suited my needs perfectly and the photos at booking accurately reflect what you get. The beds are comfortable, the staff was helpful, and everything was very clean. The location can't be beat. Minutes walk to Stanford, restaurants, coffee shops, and coworking spaces. It is a short walk to bus/Caltrain to get you into SF. If you have louder neighbors, you might have an unpleasant experience because noise travels really well through the walls and hallways. I was lucky enough to not have this issue in my three nights there, but I could see it being a problem. Overall, this older building has some flaws, but it was a comfortable sleep and the convenience of the location was worth some minor issues. I will be staying here again. I also wanted to give an update on items mentioned in previous complaints: - The heater was less-than-stellar but got the job done, if slow. - The bathrooms have sliding barn doors. - The windows do face a brick wall. This isn't a surprise looking from outside. - My shower had hot water during my stay, so I didn't have this issue. - My coffee maker worked. There is also a Nespresso machine downstairs in common area. - The concierge is sometimes in the adjacent room, not always at the front desk. This didn't bother me, but may some people. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kazuki Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 親切でした ##### Kazuki Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dana Aug 17, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Convenient location to Stanford but room quite small but clean.
