Great place to stay in Menlo Park. Room was very clean and surprisingly quiet given that it is located on a busy street.staff was very friendly and helpful. Coffee was put out very early (4:30am) in the lobby which was great for those of us on EST Coast Time! Would definitely stay here again.

Once again The Park James delivers. Very happy. If I had one wish it would be for the kitchen to be open later (last call 8:45). If appetizers were available from the bar till midnight or so, that would be great
