Very accessible and easy to find. Plenty of walkable restaurants and services. Gym is small but has enough equipment for an overall workout.

Very comfortable bed and a clean updated feel. The coffee maker was one of those cheap pod machines, and it only makes 1/2 cup of coffee at the time The girls at the reception were not interested in helping when they saw I was having trouble figuring out an unfamiliar machine, even when I asked... For that price range anywhere else I would get a real breakfast and cup of quality coffee served with a smile. Maybe in the Bay Area DIY is the new norm?

Property has been updated but rooms are small. We were towards the back of the property so street noise was minimal. The room was mostly cleaned except for in the bathtub there was hairs from someone else that were left behind. Overall for the price not a bad deal.

The Menlo Park Inn is in a central location if you are visiting Stanford, and the bay area in general (including San Francisco). The room was clean and recently remodeled. The staff is very friendly. I am sensitive to chemicals and fragrances, the Menlo Park Inn uses hypoallergenic beddings...an enormous plus for me.

I've stayed here a few times. They have the best espresso machine in the lobby! The staff is ALWAYS so sweet and nice. The rooms are always clean, the housekeepers are so nice. It's reasonably priced. Really glad I found this place.

Excellent price for the location, which was near everything I needed. I was quite impressed. Granted, it's not a 5 star hotel, so don't expect that, but it's certainly clean, with comfy beds and decent pillows. Not too loud, heater wasn't loud, fridge and tv worked (I've been in some places with two remotes or the tv's just didn't work). I'll definitely stay here again.

Nice little find
Very cute and comfortable inn with nice staff. Not too noisy. Even though it faces one way out of El Camino, it is easy to get around. Caution: The floors in the rooms are very slippery (has to do with the laminate flooring used) and they should have some anti slip mat in front of the door or inside the entrance. My wife slipped and fell when we were first getting into the room on a rainy day.

The room & staff were good. Most Continental breakfast items were good. The croissants were a tad dry, the the coffee machine was real nice. It was nice to have the hard boiled eggs as I don't to bread/cereal items. My only, small, not impressed was the bathroom wallpaper lightly peeling and seeing the wear on the faucet. But I would definitely stay again when I come back to town.

"Just fine"
This is a comfortable, not fancy place to stay. The updating of an old motel is well done in terms of design/decor. No complaints overall.
