We liked everything.

We arranged the hotel through Expedia and paid them for the stay.

We thought breakfast was complimentary but perhaps we misunderstood since a charge of $46.65 was applied to my credit card that I did not see until after we left. We got breakfast on Monday before we left but that was our only breakfst day.. We did get a soft drink and snacks that was charged to our room but that should not explain the full charge,

Can you provide a detailed statement for the $46.65?

That surprise was the only negative.

We were staying above four dumpsters that were emptied at 5 am, right on a commuter train railway which ran (honking) until 12:45 am, resuming at 5 am. And when we arrived, the wing was being renovated—door cracked open to help with awful outgassing. That room was not ready for guests. We were there to be in place for a surgery at Stanford. This was just a terrible experience.

The staff were very nice but we will never stay at this location again. The proximity to the train makes it impossible to get any sleep. The train blows its horn every time it goes by and there were only about 3 hours in the night that it wasn’t happening. The white noise machines, extra curtains, and earplugs are a generous offer but it does no good. Our entire family slept miserably.

I like the property very much in terms of convenience to downtown Menlo Park. It's a newer property and is in very good condition. Service was very good and so was the staff.
Two negatives: 1. they've shoe-horned the hotel very close to the railroad tracks so get used to the commuter train noise. 2. The room floors are part tile so you can really hear people in the room above walking on the tile floor portion. In fact, the hotel gives you ear plugs!! ...they don't help much. :-(

Great value for the price in an area that's very central to Stanford, Portola Valley, and other places. 2BR / 2BA suite was clean and worked well for a family. Other reviews said to make sure you request a room in a building far from the train tracks (anything but building A, they said) so we did and weren't bothered by the noise.

The breakfast food was hit and miss but it's free and has a number of options. Also some good places to eat in the area.

Parking was $12 per night during our stay although you can probably find street parking in the area without paying anything.

Criticisms are the free breakfast has a lot of options but it all feels like it's packaged food, and the rooms themselves don't have a lot of \"personality\" or \"charm.\" Good value and perfect for a trip where we didn't spend a lot of time in the room.

This is a great place to stay if you are traveling with children of all ages. I had three teens and stayed in the two bedroom king suite and it was very comfortable. Breakfast is included in the price and there is something that everyone can enjoy.

This property was everything you could want. Clean, spacious, comfortable, up to date, well equipped, friendly, and convenient. Breakfast was excellent. The only negative was noise from the train, but it was a minor inconvenience.

The Best Residence Inn Ever!

I have stayed at many Residence Inns over the years, and the Palo Alto/Menlo location is by far the nicest and best Residence Inn that I have ever stayed at. I stayed there with my husband and son, and we were all very satisfied with our stay. The 2-bedroom suite that we stayed in, along with the rest of the entire property is very, very clean and welcoming. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The breakfast did not disappoint either. The food was fresh and hot, and tasted very good. The only downside to this property, is that is close to the train tracks, and the train can be heard throughout the night. However, this did not bother us. In fact, I highly recommend this hotel!

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.

We stayed for 16 days for medical treatment at Stanford. The Residence Inn was convenient to Stanford and walkable to restaurants. Nice breakfast every morning. The facility is spotless with a nice courtyard area to sit in the sun. It was just what we needed.

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.

Would go back!!!

They staff goes above and beyond to make your stay as pleasant as possible. They have added noise barrier curtains and a white noise machine to minimize noise from the nearby train. Honestly if you’re used to living in the city you won’t even notice it.

This is also the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. All surfaces and linens have been thoroughly cleaned.

It’s about a ten minute drive from Stanford Hospital. I wished I would’ve stayed here for the 3 month period post op for my heart transplant.

Clean, modern design, comfortable and safe! Staff were excellent and so kind and helpful. I was worried about the sound at night from the train nearby so I requested to be on the other side of the building and heard nothing, it was peaceful and so quiet. Morning breakfast was also a great addition. Highly recommended stay!

Great room: comfortable and very clean. Vegan options for breakfast! Thank you!
Only heads up: some rooms face the train tracks and trains blow their whistle when passing by. It didn’t bother me at all but you may ask for a room facing away from tracks if it may bother you.

Great weekend stay!

Stayed here for a girls weekend and it was absolutely perfect! We had a 2 bedroom suite and it was very spacious and well kept. The dishes were freshly washed in the dishwasher and the location was very easy to get to. Lots of choices for restaurants minutes away and could easily walk to. Would definitely stay here again!

It was a very comfortable space with lots of small thoughtful touches like 2 layer light blocking and sound blocking window curtains, white noise machines and a clean/dirty magnet on the dishwasher. They were very thorough in their cleanliness in the common areas and in the rooms. A woman at the front desk explained that lots of people who stay there are getting medical treatments at Stanford so they keep the place as clean as possible.

Convenient location in Palo Alto/Menlo Park area. This hotel is located right next to the train track so it can be a little loud, but I live in NYC so it didn't bother me too much. Rooms are spacious, breakfast is included. They charge for parking, which is irritating since the rate is already so high.
