The hotel had a convenient location near the Caltrain tracks and dumpsters but offered a comfortable stay with an almost full kitchen. Despite some noise disturbances, it was a standard king suite. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond for the past 2 years. The dining options were excellent, providing delicious meals all week. The facilities met my expectations.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were spacious with a kitchenette, seating area, and a balcony, but the lack of easy elevator access made it a bit inconvenient, especially when lugging luggage around. The hotel is located perfectly for business in Menlo Park and provides access to Silicon Valley, but lacks some comfort amenities. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and organized staff that was always prompt and helpful. The dining experience was outstanding, providing a step above the traditional fare with more healthy options. The facilities were impressive, offering various conveniences like dry cleaning and laundry services.
