Clean and comfortable
The room was very clean and comfortable. Noisy upstairs people that seemed to be living there. But the motel and room itself were very nice inside.

Just a one night stay as we traveled up the California coast. Easy walk to a microbrewery and easy drive to Trader Joe’s to stock up on roadtrip snacks. Quick access to SF the next day.

Great value near Stanford
This is nice, clean, recently updated motel. The rooms are spacious by Bay Area standards and everything I was spotless. Staff was cheerful and helpful, and there are several great restaurants nearby. The lobby features an espresso/cappuccino/latte machine.
This isn't a four star hotel, but it's a great value for nice accommodations in a very expensive area. Would definitely stay again.

Very nice hotel
We enjoyed our stay. I was scheduled for surgery at Stanford and the Menlo Park Inn is in very close proximity. I requested a ground floor room so as not to climb stairs. The staff was very friendly and helpful and accommodating to my needs. We would stay here again.

Skip this place or don’t plan on sleeping.
Hands down the most uncomfortable bed I have ever tried to sleep on. And I say tried because there was no sleep between the loud screeching noise coming from who knows where every hour and the plywood mattress. Now I will say house keeping and the front desk were fantastic but you will never catch me anywhere near this place again. I can’t figure out how this hotel had such great ratings and reviews.
