Very nice spot to be in the Menlo Park area. Breakfast is varied and the pool is a nice to have after a long day to unwind. It has a pool table, a ping. pong table, and you can use some of their bikes to get around the neighbourhood. Would stay here again!

We stayed for one night for a good price. It was very quiet. Nice spacious room, moderately clean. Staff was very nice. The only thing I’d complain is the A/C did take a while to cool down the room but it wasn’t hot weather so it didn’t bother us too much.

Great stay overall with clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a quality complimentary breakfast. The only major drawback was the Wi-Fi. With speeds averaging 6-8 Mbps, it was insufficient for Zoom meetings or remote work.

The Lucent Hotel is well-maintained with clean rooms. A special thanks to Yolanda at the front desk, who was so professional and helpful throughout our stay. What really set this place apart were the amenities. The lobby features a billiard table and chess/checkers setup, while the courtyard has a ping-pong table and a great, long hot tub that my kids absolutely loved playing in. While snacks and drinks are available for purchase inside, the hotel is also conveniently right next door to a Safeway. the breakfast is wonderful with pastries, pancake machine, Starbucks coffee machine and hot breakfast foods. The location is tough to beat—we loved being so close to a local park, Cook's Seafood Market (so good!), and the Menlo Park Caltrain station. Parking can be a little tight, but it is totally workable and, best of all, completely FREE. This has easily become our favorite spot to use as a home base when visiting the area!
