"Charming hotel with wonderful staff, good food , lovely rooms and charming courtyard. Have stayed multiple times - it is my home away from home when I am in the area several times a year."

"Definitely NOT worth the price they charge. The hotel is located near a train track, is very loud, and the hotel rooms are in need of an update. The bathroom shower and floor was not cleaned well ie: hair on floor, and shower needed a deeper cleaning."

"Nice place. Great restaurant and bar. Weird location but totally fine."

"I attended a small meeting at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. My guest room was quiet, clean and spacious with a charmingly updated bathroom. The meeting space was well appointed with a large screen and excellent connectivity. The food was outstanding!"

"The Stanford Park Hotel, Menlo Park, was the third of our luxury stays as part of our week's "Back to the Bay Area Crawl." Menlo Park brought a different kind of pleasure: quieter, greener, more grounded in the Peninsula’s polished residential calm. Stanford Park Hotel fits that setting perfectly. It has the kind of well-maintained, understated luxury I tend to appreciate most—nothing flashy, nothing forced, just gracious surroundings, strong service, and an atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in. (Avi, the general manager, was exceedingly welcoming.) Across from Stanford Shopping Center and near the university - all walkable - the hotel sits in one of those parts of the Bay Area where everything feels tidy, mature, and well considered. The property emphasizes thoughtful personalized service, recent renovations, and Menlo Tavern as its in-house dining anchor. What I liked here was the sense of ease. Menlo Park is not trying to perform itself for visitors; it simply is what it is—affluent, leafy, highly livable, and quietly beautiful. After a day of seeing people and revisiting old corridors of memory, Stanford Park felt like the kind of hotel where one could genuinely exhale. (We loved our suite with a separate sitting area.) I fondly picture us returning in the evening and choosing something relaxed but polished at Menlo Tavern, starting with cocktails and then going for seafood nearby (e.g., Macarena Restaurant, near downtown Palo Alto) in a way that matched the California mood rather than forcing it. Menlo Tavern’s menus and outside listings show dishes such as a smoked salmon bagel at breakfast, alongside its broader “elevated American classics” approach with seasonal California flavors. Menlo Tavern struck me as exactly right for this leg of the trip: warm, attractive, and unfussy in a very Peninsula way. The menu leans into California ingredients and refined comfort. The charm here is not in culinary showmanship; it is in how naturally the restaurant fits the hotel and its setting. The whole experience feels composed and easy, which in Menlo Park is very much part of the appeal."
