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

Clean property. Restaurant and bar was closed over July 4th weekend. Seems like 1-2 people ran the entire hotel. Was not told that both bar and restaurant were closed at booking- should have been notified.

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.
