Friendly and helpful staff. Close to nearby stores if you’re missing anything for your trip. Lots of convenient restaurants that are walkable distance.
The exercise equipment was in great condition, the outside areas were very nice. The location to Stanford Hospital was great too! Lots of dining options within walking distance and a grocery store was right around the corner.
Hotel Lucent in Menlo Park was a pleasant experience - warm, welcoming staff and a location that puts you 1-2 blocks away from great cafes, restaurants, and shops. The rooms are comfortable, with housekeeping that keeps everything spotless. A note of caution: if you’re in a room facing El Camino Real, you may hear the occasional traffic zoom by, but most rooms are quiet and restful. The lobby is a nice bonus, complete with a pool table and ping pong that adds a touch of fun to the stay.
The service from the staff was great. We had to leave early in the morning which was unfortunate before they served the complimentary breakfast. But they allowed us to grab some of stocked items like yogurt, cereal, and breakfast beverages. The room was great, nice and clean. The pillows were the only thing that were not comfortable. They had some amenities as well
the location was really close to stanford and overall super nice. everything was remodeled

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Plenty of food options and shopping near by. Room was clean but the TV was nit functional. Streaming services and any of the offered channels did not come in.
The staff were courteous and dedicated to providing good service. The place is quaint, clean, and quiet. Pool table, pool, amazing breakfast. Can you say chia pudding!?
