Reviews of Mint House Menlo Park by KasaReviews of Mint House Menlo Park by Kasa

Incredible rooms and amenities for a great price. Loved my stay here. The location loses a star simply because the train is really loud as it passes by. Likely wouldn't recommend for a light sleeper, but they provide earplugs and a white noise machine and it didn't really affect me too bad. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful place, new clean, a really pleasant place to stay. Quiet except for trains. Near a variety of foods within walking distance. Definitely would recommend.

(Translated by Google) My experience was very good and pleasant, as the place is luxurious, clean, and very pleasant. The noise from the train wasn't a problem for me; the price was reasonable, but the only thing I found excessive was the $30.00 per day parking fee. I think $10 or $15 would have been fine, but everything else was perfect. I would return again. (Original) Mi experiencia fue muy buena y placentera ya que el lugar está de lujo, limpio y muy agradable. Para mi no fue problema el ruido del tren, precio razonable pero lo único que se me hizo excesivo fue los $30.00 dls por día de estacionamiento, considero que $10 o $15 dls estaría bien pero de ahí a lo demás todo perfecto. Regresaría otra vez.

Maravilloso Likes: La limpieza y comodidad. Dislikes: Se me hizo excesivo el costo de $ 30.00 por día de parking

Great value. Clean, light, airy and modern and fully equipped apartment in a central mid peninsula location. Great gym, pool and outside entertainment spaces. Very Californian. Consider it a great alternative to conventional hotels

Easy access to lovely pool and hot tub. Kitchen with good coffee. An easy place to stay. Likes: The location is good. The apartment is comfortable and well-equipped. Dislikes: Bathroom faucet needs reinstalling. The mirror interferes with usage. They haven’t replaced a broken trash can in the kitchen (I told them about it in May).

This was a great Airbnb option. The property has all of the design and amenities of a great hotel at a reasonable price. The facilities are new and excellent. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Loved it. Very comfortable for a week while working. Likes: The amenities were great, the apartment has everything you need for an extended stay including an iron and steamer not to mention all of the necessary kitchen gear. Dislikes: If you are a light sleeper, the train is loud, runs late, and starts early. I appreciated that earplugs and a white noise machine were provided.

Really nice building, lots of young people and dogs! Rooms perfect and equipped for cooking etc. Clean also-like new. Help was easy to get on the phone, but request a room on the opposite side of the building relative to the train tracks which are quite close to one side (where I stayed). Otherwise really nice place!

Likes: The location was great and the amount of space in the studio is adequate for one person. Dislikes: had difficulty getting the QR reader to work to open the door after hours. Not working well.

The incredibly loud honking train noise through the nights, Locale's absence of options to move me to a quieter spot, issues with check in. While high quality room, the noise and service are unacceptable. I ended up spending my entire stay (3 nights) sleeping on the bathroom floor with the sound machine on.

Dislikes: There is train line behind the facility with too much of noises.

Likes: Really clean and quiet , my favorite thing about the apartment was THE BED it was so comfy

Overall we had a good experience and we would stay here again. Likes: Nice apartment and near by everything. The trains did not bother us as much as we thought...totally doable and would stay here again. Dislikes: The scan code did not work on initial entry and a resident let us in. After that there were no issues with the key card. Missing an extra blanket for the couch, and the tub was slippery (would have been nice if there were no slip strips or a mat).

Fantástica Ubicación en Palo Alto, CA. Estuvieron pendientes de nuestra estancia, sin duda un lugar para repetir en California.

Brand new building. Very clean, spacious and well-furnished apartment. Building facilities are excellent - pool, abundant outdoor barbecue space, nice piano in lobby, very nice gym. Would be more than happy to stay here again except: Windows of apartment perhaps 50 meters from Caltrain crossing and station resulting in frequent train noise (loud, piercing whistle) and train crossing noise (ding ding ding of the bell) . With windows closed, noise measures at 85 decibels. For first 5 days there had great trouble sleeping due to the noise. After 5 days and with earplugs, got used to the noise so could sleep. For few day stay, seems unlikely your body will adjust to the noise though. With windows open, when a train is passing it is not possible to converse with someone in the apartment.

A good location and setup, but as others say, it’s noisy. Really good amenities.

Consider the noise before booking I cannot fault the property itself. It’s gorgeous and immaculate, lots of attention to detail and the co workspace and communal coffee machine was a great hit. The company own a handful of flats within this big complex. Unfortunately these flats are on the side right by the cal train. I realised the property was near a trainline but I did not expect the noise caused by the horning for the train crossing - located right outside. The horn vibrates through the building and is constantly and excruciatingly loud. The trains run all through the night, so my sleep was completely broken. I had travelled 24 hours from the UK so my few nights deprived of sleep were torturous. The hotel provide rubber ear plugs which hurt my ears, as well as a white noise machine -but it did not conceal the noise outside. I got some soft ear plugs from target and put my laptop on extra loud playing Netflix (unfortunately no tv in room) and got an “okay” sleep on the final nights but this was far from ideal. Yes the location, facilities and apartment were great but only if you can tolerate very loud noise. Parking is pricey but we were out most days and made the most of street parking which is free in the evenings. I just wish the company explained the train noise on the booking page before I booked and paid. The customer service has been good but unfortunately there’s not much they can do about the noise. I believe the Menlo park community are trying to protest the train horning.

2 stars was generous for the noise and price My family and I just moved into the area and found this hotel for my family to stay at while we moved into a new home near by. We picked this “hotel” because of the convenience to our new home and that it had a the amenities we needed for my child and elderly parent. I will have to say the amenities inside the place is fantastic don’t be fooled by shiny objects. You are right next to a train crossing and station, so the amount of noise from the trains and horns was terrible. They have ear plugs next to the bed because it is so loud and it goes on all night, no joke pretty much every hour. The windows are maybe double pane at best and that noise will come in (hence the complimentary ear plugs). It is a minimum 2 night stay and very over priced. It you are looking for a good night sleep I would advise against this as there are better and quieter for the amount of money they are charging.

Wonderful place and locale did a great job. Amenities were great and the process was seemless. Train was loud and a 5am wake-up call, but very convenient to access if you want/need.

Great if you can sleep through blaring freight trains The Good: - 5 min walking distance to downtown Menlo Park - Upscale apartment complex with good amenities, including pool, communal kitchen area, plenty of comfortable outdoor seating areas, etc - Modern, clean apartment equipped with basic needs for families (plates, utensils, glasses, pots, etc) - Responsive support by text, as long as you expect “airbnb-like” services, rather than true hotel-like services The Bad (enough to take out all of the Good): - The apartment we were assigned (148) was situated next to the train tracks. Right next to the train tracks separated by a small 2 lane local road. Freight trains run past in the middle of the night…many, many times throughout the night. The trains blare their horns as they pass by without fail, since the complex is next to a crossing. This is clearly a known issue, as they proactively provide high end earplugs next to the bed. This was not a great sign when we entered the apartment, but we were hoping for the best, since it was a new apartment complex and one would have expected they took care of installing the best insulation/sound-proofing possible next to the train tracks. They. did. not. The earplugs did not help. Nothing helped. It was the worst 2 nights of sleep for the family we’ve had in a very, very long time. If you can sleep through anything, we highly recommend this place. Try the delicious Hat Yai Chicken at Farmhouse Thai 2 mins down the street. If you sleep like a normal person, think twice before booking.

The unit was spotless, upgraded beds and linens. The building was beautiful and well maintained It was very comfortable for my family of 3. Also the Locale team were always a pleasure to communicate with! Would book again

Beautiful apartment and building very clean and communication was excellent, slight noise from the trains but ok if you are an early riser!

This is an excellent location with incredible amenities. I would not charge guest the amount charged for parking specially with so many empty spaces. I could understand it if the parking was tight. Also although it does not benefit the host bene, I would not suppress the information about a rail road next to the property, less than 75 feet away from the bedroom window. Just let people know so they could prepare(ear plugs). The location, commodities and cleanliness will overshadow the noise. Thank you

Clean, new and fully equipped with high quality amenities. Overall great! Having a washer dryer and personal high speed internet, roku TV was a plus for the whole family. Appreciated the fully equipped kitchen. Didn’t get a chance to use the pool but looks to be resort quality. Convenient to downtown and train. Enjoyed being a few steps from Farmhouse Thai and Phils. Could have used an additional card to access to common areas and garage entrances / elevators. Mild train noise but still slept well.

Locale and team are very responsive. The location is well located in Menlo Park and easy accessible. Thanks for housing me.

I booked Locale Menlo Park for a business traveler. He liked the room, amenities, and price but it is right next to the Caltrain that begins running very early. It is potentially why the rate is lower than other places nearby. We just wish we had known about the train before booking. Management was very accommodating and understanding and helped remedy the situation quickly by allowing us to cancel the second night of his stay. For that we were very grateful.

Very nice, very clean. The only issue, previously reported by others so this was not a surprise, was the noise the trains make, the apartment is virtually next to the train tracks. They stop passing (or pass much less frequently) midnight to 6am and on weekends, so you do get a break. Noise cancellation earplugs recommended. Another minor issue was that the door to open the balcony was stuck and did not open. Other than that, very clean, very modern, and Menlo Park is a very nice area with restaurants and cafe within walking distance.

Amazing, Clean, Self serving apartments!!! Besides the loud train noise, I would totally recommend! Also within good commute to work restaurants, bars etc

What a great find! The location is fantastic, the apartment amenities are amazing, and everything is brand new! We will definitely be back.

메인 입구부터 로비, 그 밖의 공용공간(수영장, 도서관)이 모두 아름답게 디자인 된 아파트입니다. 보안이 철저한 곳이고, 아파트 바로 앞에 편의점과 레스토랑이 있어 편리했습니다. 주차장에 전기차 충전 시설도 넉넉하고, 룸 안에는 깨끗한 최신 설비가 갖추어져 있어서 세탁과 식기세척을 하기 편했습니다. (다만 제가 거기 갔을 때는 세탁세제가 없어서 따로 사왔습니다.) 적당한 온도의 수영장과 따뜻한 자쿠지도 사용할 수 있어요! 아이가 아주 좋아했습니다. 저희는 그 주변 지역이 아주 마음에 들어서 재방문할 예정입니다. 룸이 크지는 않지만, 쾌적하고 세련된 숙소를 원하는 사람들에게 추천하고 싶은 숙소입니다. 감사합니다!
