Hotel Lucent

Todo

clean room, breakfast is fine.

The room has a molded, damp, and musky odor. Staff explained that it was from cleaning supplies. I would assume that the hotel must resolve the odor before handling the room to a guest. If the room has odor, clean it, air it out, carpet clean it, air it out. It should be a standard not to let guest stay at a room like that, or even had to say something.

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!

I experienced quite a wait to check in. Only one person on staff struggling to manage. They seemed new and gave me no info on the hotel breakfast, the way to the room, etc.

A very nice experience

Nothing additional to note.

We had a pleasant two nights stay with at this hotel. We had rented an electric vehicle and unfortunately the one electric vehicle charger was out of order which was a bit inconvenient. The room was clean and as shown in the pictures, and the bathroom was nice. The whole place has a refurbished motel vibe. The central courtyard with a ping-pong table and small heated pool was a nice evening experience. We found the price to be a bit high for what you get, but overall, would consider staying again.

Very good

Air conditioning did not work. Place was not clean.

Poor

Exceptional

The door to the room was so heavy. I don’t see how anyone with any balance issues would not fall.

Superb

Spacious Non decorated

There’s was no AC and the person on the desk didn’t told me until last minute. He only has us 1 fan and it was a warm night. I paid a little more for a room but didn’t get I expected to get
