We had a wonderful stay at CitizenM in Menlo Park. The property was clean, beautifully designed, and staffed was very friendly. The neighborhood felt very safe, and we loved waking up to the stunning view of the salt pond from our room.

The only thing It was missing was a dolly to take my stuff up to my room, since it took me more than one trip to bring my things up. Everyone was super nice and helpful.

Lovely and friendly staff. Very clean and tech features that add to your comfort. Great food and common areas. Rooms are small but fine for 1-2 people. Reminds me of boutique hotels in Europe. Loved it!

Small impeccably appointed room in hotel with great and expansive work spaces. Only downside is no restaurants/grocery within walking distance (but an amazing estuary is). Uber is easy and quick.

This is a unique concept in hoteliering. A room controlled almost wholly with a smart device - in this case…an iPad…a seamless check in experience without a lot of human interaction

Room size was a bit small, got that dorm/capsule vibe. There's a constant rotting smell coming from the marsh area across the street...so unless you want to ride a borrowed bike along the marsh for fun, I would suggest to stay indoors.

Love the futuristic rooms with fancy ambient lighting and relaxing mode. They have super blackout curtains so it makes it easy to sleep in peace. The only downside I have is that the hotel lacked vegan options for paid breakfast. The only thing I could have was tea and bread.

Everything was great, but this was my first time trying citizenM breakfast and, and tbh I don’t think it’s worth it. They offer a decent amount of fruits / pastries / yogurts in addition to the main breakfast items (mostly breakfast sandwiches), but I thought the main breakfast items themselves were not that good. I don’t think the $22 / day price is justified unless you have kids maybe AND you know for certain you’ll use the breakfast every day of the stay. Also I wish the breakfast was selectable per-day instead of across the entire stay. That’s why the amenities category is slightly below all the others. Staff, cleanliness, area were all amazing.
