Friendly staff, great location
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!

The room was very clean and comfortable. Noisy upstairs people that seemed to be living there. But the motel and room itself were very nice inside.
