    Front of Stanford House
    Debbie S.

    Unfortunately, I came to know of Stanford House when my Daughter was transferred to Stanford Hospital. I am so thankful for the rate they charged, as other Hotels near were almost double. This place was all I needed! Food can be delivered in, or there are many options within a short drive. The room is small, but I was only in it short periods of time, and it was very clean. The Staff are all on top of their game, and friendly, including cleaning crew! A perk were the Deer I got to enjoy, out my Window.

From the moment the bellman greeted us, we knew we were in for a treat. Parking was super easy to find since it's an open lot. I checked in earlier which was great because I didn't have to wait until the 3 pm check-in time like at other hotels. 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!

The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful in its design with its Spanish influenced architecture and every room having a little balcony overlooking the intimate courtyard or if its on the outside of the hotel, the downtown Palo Alto area. We honestly couldn't have imagined a better venue for our wedding, everyone had a good time and not a single thing went wrong. My wife and I were even in the penthouse for the weekend, an amazing two bedroom suite on the top floor with not one but TWO private balconies, a jet tub, and a beautiful double sink bathroom with the works. el PRADO made sure that the most special day in my life went perfectly and me and my wife will always remember that.

You would have to drive, into what is a very beautiful property delicately decorated. It has a feel of a romantic, quaint intimate feeling, yet catered also to the corporate clientele. The location parking and everything Is very convenient and the experience of check in was very friendly. The agent greeted us and gave me a cottage cheese and a yogurt to my son, seeing we arrived in the late evening close to 9:00pm. The rooms are modern and very clean, and the decoration has a kind of minimalistic feel to it, but very classy. The bathrooms are Unique with white and red shades. The breakfast was probably the highlight of our stay having a full on breakfast buffet, eggs, bacon, muffins, scones, and a full-on coffee machine, and the seating was very nice, but small. Rooms don't run cheap but I do feel it's worth every penny for the experience. They also forgot to mention have like this mini backyard in the room, super cute and private.

Our room overlooked the pool which we did not use because we were too comfortable in our room. The room had 2 TV's - one in the living area and another in the bedroom. The only con was the cable reception/connection was fuzzy for the channel we were watching - so it was not a good connection. The bathroom had every toiletry you could possibly want from make up removal, shower cap, two different types of soap, etc. I've been to fancier hotels that hardly had anything. They get 5* for stocking the bathroom with many amenities. There was coffee, water and tea in the room as well as in the office/reception area. There was also a little dish of assorted candies (snack size kit kat, almond joy, etc.) for those with a sweet tooth. Free parking which is always nice. Complimentary breakfast from 6:30 - 9:30 had many choices: guava juice, orange juice, milk, packaged cold cereal, oatmeal with various toppings, yogurt, fruit cup, hard boiled eggs, bananas, apples, small pastries, assorted breads you can toast, folded omelette, egg bite and sweet potatoes. What more could you want? There's something for everyone! You can easily drive downtown to shop with lots of restaurant options. Room rate will vary depending on the date. Highly recommend.

My husband's company had a conference and as all hotels in this area do, Hotel Lucent raised their prices to almost $500 a night during the conference- this is a badly remodeled motel and even on conference weeks, not worth a quarter of that rate. I am giving two stars for the kindness of Eve at the front desk and the fact that it was a roof over our head. The good ends there. Please see attached pictures: the carpets are tearing, stained and faded; there are dirty handprints on the walls in the rooms; when we arrived we found feces in the toilet and broken glass in the bathroom sink. There was spilled/splashed food on the walls behind the desk/work station; an old, dusty coffee maker; no fitted sheets on beds; mold in the shower; a musty, dirty smell in the hallways and in our room; scraped and damaged furniture in the room and in the lobby area; a non-heated outdoor pool; a broken jacuzzi with no guest access; and two slime-covered "water stations" (they only provide bottled water once upon check-in), and the "mini-fridge" in our room was non-operational. 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.

I'm fortunate to be a 6 six figure earner(on the low end), but no way for me! 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.

    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.
