My stay at the Residence Inn Palo Alto Menlo Park was a mix of fantastic highlights and some drawbacks. I genuinely loved the spaciousness of the rooms and the effort the staff put into ensuring a comfortable experience. I did find a few aspects of the breakfast and minor noise issues less than ideal, but overall, it was a pleasant stay. The customer service was exceptional, and I particularly appreciated the luxurious shower and large kitchen area in the room, making my extended stay quite enjoyable.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel in Menlo Park. The spacious rooms were a big plus, especially with the full kitchen that really made us feel at home. The breakfast was fantastic, with a DIY waffle maker and a lot of healthy options. There was some train noise, but it was manageable. Overall, it's a decent option for families and business travelers alike, but I'd say the Wi-Fi could be improved.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms are impressively spacious and come with a nice kitchen, adding great value, especially for families. The breakfast spread was substantial and of good quality, which was a highlight. However, the noise from nearby construction and train whistles made it hard to rest properly, which is a significant downside. Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking for space and convenience, but be prepared for some noise.
