Everything about the hotel was awesome. From the time we arrived and got greeted, to entering our room and using the amazing facilities. This hotel is truly a hidden gem in Palo Alto. The staff were great and service was top notch. Thanks for making our stay memorable!
What a great location! Rooms are exquisite and very quiet for being located near the freeway. Very secluded and quiet setting. It's a favorite weekend getaway for my wife and I!
The staff, location, room amenities, lighting. . . Everything is perfect!!!! This is a delightful hotel run by the nicest and most competent staff. I would never stay anywhere else in Palo Alto by choice.
Interesting variety of rooms in different size buildings in varied landscaping centered around a creek which was dry when we were there but still very pretty.
Love the futuristic rooms with fancy ambient lighting and relaxing mode. They have super blackout curtains so it makes it easy to sleep in peace. The only downside I have is that the hotel lacked vegan options for paid breakfast. The only thing I could have was tea and bread.
I've stayed at Joie de Vivre hotels before with good results but this one is a step above any I've experienced. I haven't checked on when this gem was built but it is exceptionally clean. The grout in the shower looks like it's never seen soap before. It's located in the best possible spot in Palo Alto for walkable shops and restaurants, the staff is courteous and professional, the rooms are good sized and stylish... There isn't a bad thing I can say about this spot. We didn't get a chance to...
Menlo Park Inn was awesome!! Really friendly staff, super clean, and felt very safe and conveniently located. The breakfast was perfect for a grab-and-go and would be open even after their designated hours. There was always a cooler with filtered, iced water to fill up water bottles. We had a great time, would highly recommend!
I had a wonderful stay. The room was clean and quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were kind, welcoming, and professional. The shower was amazing, definitely a highlight! Overall, a very comfortable and relaxing experience. I would happily stay here again.
Extremely quiet and comfortable rooms. Located off fwy but couldn't hear any noise from inside the room. Very spacious and perfect for a grown family. The only thing that was needed was a real queen or king bed instead of full size beds. Rooms have ample room to accommodate those sizes.
