Mint House Menlo Park by Kasa

The location is really handy, with gas stations, restaurants, shopping centers, and Safeway all within walking distance. Campus is a nine-minute Uber ride away. I work remotely for Stanford and come to town about four times a year. I used to stay at Nobu, but decided to try Menlo Park, and I’m glad I did. This place is a true gem, and I’ll only stay here from now on. I felt so safe with a code to enter the building and another for the room. The room was gorgeous and didn’t feel cramped like a hotel room. There’s a beautiful pool and hot tub with amazing cabanas, plus a library with a golf simulator, grills, a restaurant, and a tap house. The list goes on. I’ve never been so impressed. The train is loud, but it stops around midnight and starts again around 6 or 7 in the morning. They provide earplugs and white noise machines. Neither my 10-year-old nor I lost sleep over it. We slept right through every night. The customer service, friendliness, and helpfulness were top tier. I’m going to look for their locations in other states, too. Nothing compares, trust me! There’s only a TV in the living room. I wish there were one in a bedroom, but it didn’t bother us. Neither of us turned it on, though she likes to sleep with the TV on.

The rooms and amenities were incredible for the price, and I loved my stay. The passing train is really loud, so I probably wouldn’t recommend this place for a light sleeper. They do provide earplugs and a white noise machine, and it didn’t bother me too much. I’d definitely stay again.

The kitchen was fully equipped, and having a washer and dryer, personal high-speed internet, and a Roku TV was a plus for the whole family. Everything was clean, new, and fitted with high-quality amenities. The pool looked resort quality, though we didn’t get a chance to use it. It was convenient to downtown and the train, and we enjoyed being just steps from Farmhouse Thai and Phils. Train noise was mild, and we still slept well. An extra card for the common areas, garage entrances, and elevators would have been useful.

It’s a really nice building, with lots of young people and dogs. My room was clean, like new, and well equipped for cooking, and help was easy to reach by phone. The train tracks are quite close to one side of the building, so ask for a room on the opposite side if you can. I stayed near the tracks. Otherwise, it’s a really nice place.
