Nice property, but right by the train tracks with a train that goes by blaring its horn very 15 minutes during the day. Recommend you avoid it.

The staff were very nice but we will never stay at this location again. The proximity to the train makes it impossible to get any sleep. The train blows its horn every time it goes by and there were only about 3 hours in the night that it wasn’t happening. The white noise machines, extra curtains, and earplugs are a generous offer but it does no good. Our entire family slept miserably.

I like the property very much in terms of convenience to downtown Menlo Park. It's a newer property and is in very good condition. Service was very good and so was the staff. Two negatives: 1. they've shoe-horned the hotel very close to the railroad tracks so get used to the commuter train noise. 2. The room floors are part tile so you can really hear people in the room above walking on the tile floor portion. In fact, the hotel gives you ear plugs!! ...they don't help much. :-(

Great value for the price in an area that's very central to Stanford, Portola Valley, and other places. 2BR / 2BA suite was clean and worked well for a family. Other reviews said to make sure you request a room in a building far from the train tracks (anything but building A, they said) so we did and weren't bothered by the noise. The breakfast food was hit and miss but it's free and has a number of options. Also some good places to eat in the area. Parking was $12 per night during our stay although you can probably find street parking in the area without paying anything. Criticisms are the free breakfast has a lot of options but it all feels like it's packaged food, and the rooms themselves don't have a lot of "personality" or "charm." Good value and perfect for a trip where we didn't spend a lot of time in the room.

This is a great place to stay if you are traveling with children of all ages. I had three teens and stayed in the two bedroom king suite and it was very comfortable. Breakfast is included in the price and there is something that everyone can enjoy.

The Best Residence Inn Ever!
I have stayed at many Residence Inns over the years, and the Palo Alto/Menlo location is by far the nicest and best Residence Inn that I have ever stayed at. I stayed there with my husband and son, and we were all very satisfied with our stay. The 2-bedroom suite that we stayed in, along with the rest of the entire property is very, very clean and welcoming. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The breakfast did not disappoint either. The food was fresh and hot, and tasted very good. The only downside to this property, is that is close to the train tracks, and the train can be heard throughout the night. However, this did not bother us. In fact, I highly recommend this hotel!
