We stayed with our preteen and little guy and it was wonderful. Area felt pretty safe. We had a bay view room and got to watch the lighthouse at Alcatraz at night. Real close to dining, Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf and just a couple blocks from the Big Bus station. Breakfasts were good and definitely saved money not paying for that every day! They are strict about the breakfast cutoff.

The hotel is very close to SFO and has a free shuttle. We stayed one night so we could quickly get to the airport the following morning.
You could hear the airplanes take off, but it wasn't so bad that we couldn't fall asleep after a long day of adventures. Our room faced the airport so it was probably even a little louder than on the other side of the hotel.

My stay was fantastic. The only negative thing I experienced was that they removed the US flag from its place of honor at the peak of their hotel in order to fly a pride flag in its place. As a veteran whos friends gave their lives for the US and whos coffins were draped with that flag, this was intolerable. There were plenty other places they could and did fly the pride flag. It should never fly in lieu of the Stars and Stripes.

Close to SFO for an overnight stay after a long flight home. They allow late check in but the shuttle service ended too early for us to be able to use so we had to pay for a rideshare service. The woman at reception was very friendly when we checked in and our room was large, clean, quiet and comfortable. They serve a small but serviceable breakfast in the morning, which was nice since we still had a long drive home. Definitely recommend a stay here if you are in the area.

Menlo Park Inn was awesome!! Really friendly staff, super clean, and felt very safe and conveniently located. The breakfast was perfect for a grab-and-go and would be open even after their designated hours. There was always a cooler with filtered, iced water to fill up water bottles. We had a great time, would highly recommend!
