Hotel Lucent is a super clean and cute place with wonderful amenities. I loved that, but my stay was ruined by a terrible night's sleep. Why? -Noise from the highway and loud air vent -College students loudly running around & shouting outside through the night (conference ?) -No blanket in the room In all my years of hotel stays, this one ranks the highest as the most unrestful stay. Even though I loved the amenities, and the great breakfast spread, I am disappointed in the lack of proper rest due to uncomfortable conditions.

Nice place to rest after a long day of travel

Pros: location and quiet on-site parking refreshing shower head comfortable bed
Cons: The housekeeping carts are very noisy and vibrate when being rolled on surface outside the rooms.
Location: Easy access to shopping, movie theatre and wide choice of local restaurants all within walking distance.
After watching the reconstruction of the previous hotel, I was eager to visit. Now it is a newly renovated, "boutique" hotel located in Menlo Park on busy El Camino Real, however, I did not hear any "road noise" while in the room. There are several restaurants, stores and a movie theatre within walking distance. After a long day of traveling, I appreciated being able to dine without driving, take a relaxing shower and experience comfortable sleep.
