Room was fine but during our first evening we felt like we were on the street as the noise was very loud. We saw the front desk and they changed our room to a more inward location which made a difference. Thank you for attentive and prompt service.

Arrived at tail end of heatwave and hotel HVAC could not provide enough AC power to be comfortable; staff indicated that half of the AC units were not working. Carpet in room had stains. Shower had black mildew and after use gave off strong odor. Noise of El Camino Real moderate, our room faced that street. We used ear plugs. Breakfast and common areas are in good shape. Long hottub enjoyable. Location perfect for all things Menlo Park and upper half of Palo Alto.

Staff was cordial. Carpet in the room was vacuumed but stained. Small portions of the carpet near the bed were sticky. Coffee machine in breakfast lounge said it needed cleaning. Generally expect better maintenance and care at this expense level.
