    Exterior image of the Menlo Park Inn
    K B.

    Solo traveler on a Budget. I had an emergency in San Francisco and was on a budget with my own transportation. My filters for last minute hotel reservations were: Free parking Cleanliness Fridge Microwave $100 per night Menlo Park Inn met each need. I stayed for two nights. I arrived past midnight after a 10 hour drive. I called about my late arrival but did not expect to arrive so late early. The entire neighborhood was so quiet that I was hoping my reservation was still honored. This is a small brand, family owned motel (I think,). I rang the bell and was greeted with a smile and a fashionista. No sleep in her eyes. No bedhead. Just a vibrant greeting. Check-in was 5 minutes or less and I was offered a complimentary snack. Exterior Well lit. Creative and modern paint palette. Spacious parking. Shaped like a square "U". Room There were three features of the room I noticed. The leaves shadow imprint on the sheets. A traditional bathtub. If you had time for a soak. And the white wood shutters were a nice touch in nostalgic modernity. After a long drive I was pleased that the room was sanitized and clean along the base boards. Since my stay was brief I slept, showered and was on the go. IMO, If you're staying at an Inn, it's not technically a vacation it's functionality of the space. All items behaved properly. The bed allowed me to sleep. The refrigerator kept my food cold and the microwave heated it up. The A/C was comfortable and did not over freeze. And the Keurig functioned as expected. The shower water flow and temperature remained the same at midnight and 8 a.m. with no delay in hot water. I did partake in the continental breakfast of fruit, oatmeal, juice and fresh grind coffee concoctions. If you're staying here. You know you're staying here. If you are staying in Menlo Park this is a good choice. If you have no idea and you're a tourist exploring San Francisco, pass this accommodations up. I don't mind driving 30 minutes to the city but this location required driving over the river and through the woods. Well technically two miles from highway to the Inn. An extra value was the room spaciousness in a double queen room. I feel comfortable saying a wheelchair could navigate in a non-accessible room. Oh and for ladies that like light for make-up, Menlo Park Inn did well. Perhaps the fashionista influence at check-in. Amenities Room deposit is less than $100 per night. Wifi is free but I did not use it. I travel with a personal hot spot. But there were lots of channels on the television. Complimentary shower gel, conditioner and shampoo. Eucalyptus and lemon scented that was soft. Two gas stations nearby with snacks. CVS and outdoor shopping boutique-ish shops within a mile "Have a vision of excellence, a dream of success, and work like hell." - Dr. Samuel DuBois Cook

    We booked this hotel on short notice. The price was excellent- under $100. The receptionist at check-in was friendly and professional. The room was clean and had the basics- wifi, king size bed, tv, large desk, sink area, shower/tub, toilet, microwave, Keurig, mini-fridge. There were complimentary coffee pods, tea, sweetener, honey, toiletries, and makeup remover pads. We did have to call down to the front desk for another blanket, but they brought it up to us right away. In the morning, they serve free coffee and continental breakfast. The coffee maker is fancy w/ a digital screen where you get to choose how strong you want your coffee, and then it grinds your coffee for you. The breakfast consisted of bagels, pastries, muffins, assorted cereals, milk, greek yogurt, bananas, oranges, apples, hot oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, and all the toppings like jam, cream cheese, butter, sugar, salt, and pepper. Would definitely stay here again!

    Menlo Park Inn gives an eye mask and slippers and some random things like a bag of nuts and a "freshly" baked cookie. It wasn't wrapped in plastic it was in an open pastry bag and who knows how long it was sitting there! Our room came with a small couch and a desk and TV and fridge, it was pretty spacious and clean. Parking was easy, it's right next to the room. And it came with the reservation! My husband and I took two spots because we each brought our cars. It comes with a complimentary continental breakfast which has apples, oranges, bananas, yogurt in little mason jars, cereal, bagels, toast, cream cheese, coffee. Also, there are some drinks and water in the lobby if you want to purchase drinks or just want some water, I think some of the drinks are complimentary! I slept relatively comfortably, but the walls are thin and you can hear the person next door snoring. Also for some reason the prices are astronomical on the weekdays! Our room went up to $400 on the Monday we checked out. It was crazy!

    I cannot really recommend Menlo Park Inn other than the location. That part is great. Easy walking to restaurants, shopping, the best used bookstore anywhere nearby. Everything else though was not good, and worse than not good. The whole room stank of mold the minute we walked in. It was easy to discover why. There was black mold all inside the windows & around the windowsills, there was black mold around the sink, the drains, in the grout, all over the place. The air conditioner, which was SUPER LOUD, blew out more mold smell. Then there were the dirty linens. The first two hand washcloths we unfolded to use had red stains on them that was either lipstick or (shudder) something worse. I promptly marched them over to the office and dropped them off to a rather unconcerned front desk person. The sheets were not exactly the freshest seeming things either. The beds were so uncomfortable and hard. Neither of us got much sleep. The location is very noisy as well, with a lot of road traffic even at night, and massive construction across the street looks like it will be happening for quite some time. Don't bother with the 'wine' hour thing. We showed up to an empty bottle of wine and a plate with a few crusty cheese leftovers. Breakfast is nothing to speak about either. And I don't recommend the 'cookie' they leave in your room because that did not seem sanitary at all. They do give you eye masks, which you need when the bright morning sun comes through the shade slates because there are no curtains. There were a lot of TV channels, so that is nice? No way to plug in and use your own Fire Stick or anything though or use your own Netflix accounts or the like. If it is all about the location, then the location is terrific. Everything else, expect a cheap, run down motel with a fresh surface makeover at not so cheap prices, and that's exactly what you are going to get.

    I think i am done. $300 plus dollars for a carpet in room 116 that is so filthy that just being barefoot for an hour made my feet black and i had to wash them twice..see picture of wash cloth. I had to put towels and a bedspread over the carpet. DISGUSTING. See other review with the black feet comment.. and still was not taken care of!!!! Lindo p. Please stop lying and saying you have taken care of the carpets!!! Also, so much for sleeping in with those f@&&&g maids screaming and laughing and cackling right outside the damned doors!!! Rude and unprofessional!!!

Our room on the fourth floor was beautiful, boasting a lovely view and an integrated AC system which was a nice touch. While a microwave would have been a convenient addition, the room was well-appointed with a fridge, desk, and TV. The bathroom having two sinks was a huge plus. The hotel itself is surprisingly expansive, with long hallways adorned with photos of notable Stanford alumni, showcasing a proud connection to the university. The amenities truly impressed us. We enjoyed a relaxing dip in the pool and jacuzzi, which thankfully stayed open until 10 pm. Later, we savored drinks at the elegant bar before settling by the cozy outdoor fire pit. The hot, freshly baked cookies served nightly from 7 pm to 10 pm were a delightful bonus! The seamless Wi-Fi connection was also a plus. We also appreciated the convenience of The Menlo Tavern, the hotel's connected restaurant, which I had visited before without realizing its hotel affiliation. Despite a minor confusion regarding the breakfast package (it's for one person, so be aware if booking for two!), our experience was overwhelmingly positive. The fantastic service, beautiful surroundings, and excellent amenities (including a gym on the second floor) make this a five-star stay in my book. Highly recommend!

We tried our best to find other accommodations once we realized the state of our room but by that time, all the hotels in the area had been reserved for the conference. I will say, once I kindly spoke with Eve about my concerns, she assured me that they would take care of the issue and while they did use some mold-killer in the shower and cleaned the feces off of the toilet's sides- our fresh towels still had lipstick and makeup marks on them from the prior guests' use; they left a dirty coffee cup on the table and didn't take out all the trash in the room. I asked if I could have some cleaning products to try and wipe the room down on my own but I was refused, I am sure this is due to liability and I understand but as a guest paying $500 a night, I would really have expected not to have to go to the Safeway next door and purchase my own cleaning supplies to try and get the room to a more comfortable level of cleanliness for myself, my husband and my child. I am baffled by the positive reviews and feel truly led astray.

Someone with this kind of money to blow per a night for hotel would likely rather be in Paris, Venice, Tahiti, London, Bermuda, Vegas or anywhere else but Menlo Park. I think this place survives solely on business travel for the all the Tech and Venture Capital companies in Silicon Valley, which is a very boring place as a tourist destination. Just as my Finance related conference yuppy colleagues were exiting, another mob of blue/black sport coat BioTech conference type yuppy men were entering the property. PROS: -Large, luxurious, modern, and clean rooms. -Modern immaculate furniture. -Glorious, gorgeous, marble tile, and welcoming bathroom with dual head shower and deep bath tub...deep enough that I took my first bath in 10+ years. -Amazing soft yet supportive king sized bed. -Nice pool area -Coffee, Tea, Minibar that I was too afraid to find out how much it all costs -Free water bottles(I would hope for $1000+/night) -They did not charge me $25/day for self parking. -Well staffed with very friendly folks. CONS: -Ridiculously expensive! -Everything else is expensive as well such food and drink, but again most folks are here on business accounts -No fridge, but I did toss some water bottles on top of the minibar's booze. -It's a campus style property with multiple buildings "cottages", so if you're in cottage 17 like I was its a bit of walk with stairs to get to the conference areas. If it was raining, this would've been gawd awful. In conclusion, I would happily come here again on someone else's invite and dime....but if I'm taking vacation it'll be in Hawaii. At least. Did you stay on your own money for mini vacation? Why? And it is your income? I really don't understand, lol!

    This review is for the dining areas at Rosewood Sand Hill, including Madera Restaurant, Madera Bar,…read moreand Bici Coffee. The hotel is located right by SLAC, tucked into a hillside setting in Menlo Park. The property feels peaceful, elegant, and very well maintained. Madera Restaurant offers a full upscale dining menu and is a great choice for lunch, dinner, a business meal, date night, or a special occasion. Madera Bar is perfect for cocktails, wine, and light bites in a more relaxed but still refined atmosphere. Bici Coffee is a nice option for coffee, pastries, or a casual stop for bikers if you do not want a full sit-down meal. Rosewood Sand Hill is also a nice place for a tea party or an afternoon gathering with friends. One of the best parts is the view from the hill. I like how you can partially see the highway from the restaurant, but you cannot really hear it, so the setting feels very calm and secluded. Occasionally, you can see some movement in the distance, but if you were not looking in that direction, you probably would not even notice it. Because of that, the whole place feels very private and relaxing. Visiting Rosewood Sand Hill feels like you have been transported somewhere away from Silicon Valley, even though you are actually right in the middle of it, just a walking distance from SLAC, the particle accelerator, and Zoox's autonomous vehicles. That contrast makes the experience even more interesting: you are surrounded by the Silicon Valley's technology and innovation, but the atmosphere feels secluded, quiet, luxurious, and almost like a retreat.
