Helpful and friendly staff and relatively quiet for the location. Older facility that is well maintained and updated, with pretty good amenities. Only suggestion I would make is to find something to clean the grout in the shower or re-grout. Will probably stay there again should the need arise. More

My first impression of the menlo park inn was, omg, I came to the wrong place as it is right on the main drag of menlo park and looks like a 1950's motel. After a night here, I'm so glad I found it! Imagine a 1950's drive in courtyard motel, tastefully updated in stucco, ample parking, fresh baked choc chip... More

The website for this hotel is a little misleading - it appears to be some kind of boutique-y hotel - and It's not! It's a really well kept, motel-style accommodation. It's well-located, right on El Camino and walking distance from Santa Cruz Blvd, which has great places to eat and shop. We stayed here over Alumni Weekend and found it... More

We loved staying here on a recent trip to the Palo Alto area. It was nicely maintained and very clean. The breakfast bar was simple but more than adequate for busy people on the run in the mornings. The lobby, inconsequential to some travelers, was small, but sharply decorated. The entire facility looked like the managers and other employees cared... More

Older property, redone and well maintained. It's an old motor hotel; classic "L" shape with all room doors opening to the inside; parking on the inside of the "L." Rooms were spacious; big flat screen TV, mini-fridge, coffee maker, microwave. Large bathroom, tub / shower combo. Complimentary breakfast in the office area. Staff was helpful and courteous. About 1.5 miles... More

This is an old motel. And not a very nice one. They have slapped a coat of pain on the lobby, bought two new chairs, and put some pictures up on their web site that were definitely not taken here. Do not, I repeat, do not be fooled. More

This place has surprisingly nice and spacious rooms. From the outside it looks like just another motel but inside the rooms are as nice as those of a much more expensive hotel. Spacious. Very good mattress and pillows. More

Checked into the Menlo Park Inn on 10 January. As I was driving up to the hotel, the outside seemed a bit careworn and unappealing. The Office is temporarily located in one of the hotel rooms while they remodel the actual office building and the continental breakfast area is also in an adjacent hotel room. But, once I checked-in and... More

This "hotel" has been rated 2.5 - 3 stars on various travel sites, but it really is just a motel. Just because a place provides Starbucks coffee packets and "upscale" toiletries does not warrant rating it higher than what it deserves. I do give the owners credit for really trying hard at making what is really an old motel, into... More
