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.

The property is beautiful, but we didn't realize we would be charged every day to park our car. Also, the room service staff are not well trained.

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.
