    Oak Motel Palo Alto Palo Alto - Menlo Park

    A short guide to Palo Alto - Menlo Park

    Originally named by two Irishmen in 1853, Menlo Park has earned Tree City USA recognition for its 10,400 street trees. Visitors find a mix of shops, cafés, and artists’ studios at the serene Allied Arts Guild, a garden oasis. More greenery awaits at Burgess Park, Seminary Oaks Park, and Bayview Park, host to Annual Kite Day. In Palo Alto, south of Menlo Park, take some time to walk the grounds of the prestigious Stanford University.

    I stay at a range of hotels from 5 star right down the line. Oak is an older place, but serviceable -- good for a night or two on the cheap or when the selection is limited for the Palo Alto area where hotels can cost a bundle, especially on Mon-Tue- Wed nights.

    This motel is very solid for what it is -- a basic accommodation conveniently located near many noteworthy sites. It is certainly not luxurious, but I found it clean and very acceptable for the price. I would definitely stay there again if circumstances warranted it.

    The rooms had a strong smell of cigarette smoke and it did not appear that housekeeping swept the room completely. On a positive note, the front desk staff were very courteous and helpful.

    BAD! The reomote contol for the TV did not work, even with new batteries. Only had one towel and one wash cloth for two guests. We needed an additional pillow and none were available. Their excuse was they were full and they had no extra pilows! The manager did not seem interested in our problems. Breakfast is advertised to start at 6:30AM, yet at 7:00AM […] the door was still locked. A horrible experience, very disappointed in Hotels.com for even listing this place. Read more

    This motel met my needs. My priorities were to be close to my destination the next morning and for the room to be clean and neat with no unpleasant odors. It met my minimum criteria but got points off for service because I had to go to the office to borrow an ironing board and iron. Also, I got coffee in the morning from the lobby and then was locked […] out of my room. I had to return to the office to have my key reactivated. Finally, please provide something besides styrofoam cups/bowls with the continental breakfast. Those are an environmental nightmare. Read more

    I stayed for an entire week at the Oak. Great price and location. The first 4 nights were fine. They are not high end rooms but you get what you pay for. I had to extend my trip one day and had to move rooms. My new room had a funky, rotting smell and the carpet was damp. I called the front desk to get a different room but they were sold out. Worst […] night I have ever spent in a hotel room ever. I bought heavy duty air fresher and even a scented candle to no avail. I let them know in the morning and they tried to blame it on the fact that it was a smoking room. I've stayed in plenty of smoking rooms - this was way different. I will not stay there again.

    I stayed here due to last minute booking, the price was well above the quality of the hotel. On the up side, there was a minifridge in the room, and most importantly the sheets were clean and the location right on El Camino Real was extremely convenient for me. The room keys were finicky and didn't usually work on the first try, but it worked eventually. […] The shampoo provided was really bad, I recommend getting your own. The employees were all very nice, we never had a problem. The continental breakfast they provided was rather sad, miniature bagels, no cream cheese. If it was inexpensive I'd recommend it for providing the bare necessities, but as it is, its only useful if there's nothing else available in the area. Read more

    Location is convinient, right El Camino. Other then that, not much good to say about this hotel. You get the feeling that the owners are just milking it without investing at all in maintenance, repairs etc. The bathroom fixtures are rusting out, the caulking is dirty and peeling, the room carpets look like they are from the 70's, the towels are rough […] and thin etc. The price was way too high given the condition of this place. The problem is, hotels sell out a lot in this area, so I guess they work off the fact that there may not be other choices for people. Read more

    First floor room, one screen missing, another bent and broken. Cigarette burns in the bathroom. The toilet backed up and there was no plunger or toilet brush to be found. The bathtub had stains and damage to it. The sink and faucet where not marked hot or cold. The clientele was the kind that smoked and drank outside of the rooms so leaving the windows […] open, even if the screens were present, or worked, would have made sleep impossible. As it was the windows were very low quality and the conversations at 1:30 AM passed right through. That is what I get for booking late for a lightning fast business trip. Read more

    Very good value for the money -- but then you are not paying much. Hotel has seen better days, but serves its purpose -- clean room to crash while on business in Palo Alto. Reasonable internet free of charge, reasonable continental breakfast again free of charge. Big bath tub with hot water -- no laundry bag. Restaurant across the street -- but expensive. Superb […] Chinese restaurant (Chef Chu's) is about 2 minutes drive/10 minutes walk Southeast on El Camino Real. Read more
