We stayed 3 nights - Friday breakfast was terrific but Saturday and Sunday were not as good. I'm not sure why they took away some lovely breakfast items and replaced them with much lesser quality items for the weekend. Not good. And we were told breakfast started at 6am but then on the weekend we were told that it started at 7a. They should have told us that when we checked in since they knew we were staying 3 nights. We had events every morning that required us to leave at 6:50a - not helpful.
The room was nice - could have used a sitting chair (it had one desk chair but nothing else other than the bed) but overall a comfortable room.
This was a great hotel! It is small but they offer so much fun activities. Stayed for valentines weekend and it was super nice. The bed was firm, the bathrooms were super nicer. I will 100% be coming back
The Lucent Hotel is well-maintained with clean rooms. A special thanks to Yolanda at the front desk, who was so professional and helpful throughout our stay.
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!
Last minute booking. Clean Room. Free breakfast. Family Friendly. Friendly staff. Hotel is 2 stories w/no elevators, however hotel staff will gladly carry your luggage up/down stairs. Price was reasonable considering the area/demographics.

Decent hotel, nothing fancy. Good for short stay, close to stores and shopping center. They ran out of hot chocolate our entire stay.
