Hotel Lucent was AMAZING!! Jeanni made the entire stay unforgettable, she was so kind and accommodating!! It’s people like her that make a stay incredible, and because of her we will always go back anytime we are at Stanford or in the area! She went above and beyond for my son & I, and we are so grateful to her for all of her help! We weren’t expecting to stay in the area, but due to an emergency came up to Stanford without any extra clothes or toiletries, and Jeanni made sure we had toothbrushes, toothpaste, water, and even coffee, hot chocolate and tea!! Hotel Lucent was clean and comfortable and so welcoming!! She even turned the heater

We stayed at Hotel Lucent for three nights over Thanksgiving. I would like to leave a more positive review but overall it wasn’t a great experience. I suspect it’s very dependent on which room you stay in. Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, great location, safe neighborhood and clean premises. Thoughtful details like a pool table, backgammon board and good jazz music on the sound system were appreciated. Cons: The shower in our initial room (107) was infested with ants. We moved to a second room (229) that was located below a massive air conditioning unit that sounded like a helicopter landing on the roof when it fired up every few minutes. This made sleeping very challenging. I’ve read other reviews where people commented on traffic noise, but honestly Menlo Park is pretty quiet at night. That being said, I wouldn’t have noticed traffic given the oppressively loud AC system. Our room wasn’t serviced on the second day but the person at the front desk kindly provided clean towels on request. Breakfast was fine, typical readymade hotel omelets and a pancake machine. However, on the second day everything had been consumed by 8:30, so it pays to get up early. I must mention again that the staff was unfailingly courteous and helpful and did their best to make our stay pleasant. Managing a hotel is a very challenging business so I don’t want to complain too much, but I suspect our experience would have been better if we’d been in a different room.

We stayed on three occasions over the last week. On the first occasion there was so much noise and vibration from the fans above the room that we had to be moved to another room, which still suffered from this but to a much lesser degree. Subsequent stays were in other better rooms and were very satisfactory.

The property was very clean and kept up well… it sounded like a diesel truck was sitting on the roof of our room intermittently throughout our stay. I dont know if it was the furnace or what but it was pretty disruptive, we could hear our neighbors TV all night and then I got a text at 1:58am asking us how our stay was which also woke me up out of my sleep. Wasn’t a very restful night…
