“Looks Good but Watch Out”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

If noise is a problem for you, you will not want to stay at Best Western Plus Riviera. It appears to be charming and the location is good. It is clean. The WiFi is good and breakfast is OK. However, given any other choices and there are many in the area, I would not stay here again. The over riding... More

“Fine Hotel”

I travel to the Bay Area frequently from Australia and have stayed at most of the reasonably priced hotels in the area. Not sure if the Best Western has changed somehow but I had a very fine stay. Room was clean, spacious and the bed comfortable. I was on the second floor and the sound proofing was good (from the... More

“Only advantage is location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2013 via mobile

This hotel is close to Stanford university and that is only positive. Rooms are ok. Air conditioning is too loud. Very close to El Camino and hence too much traffic noise. Breakfast has very limited choice. Staff has an attitude of - I don't care.

“Fine motel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2013

This is a decent motel. The room was pretty clean and the staff was helpful and accommodating (letting me check out late, watching my bag, etc.). It is right on a highway and there was construction when I was there. The room was wildly overpriced in my opinion - but I understand the area is expensive, and perhaps something was... More

“Excellent location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2012

This is our second stay. The location close to the Stanford Shopping Center is ideal. The weather caused a loss of power on the morning of our departure. The staff handled it well. We even had some hot coffee and a bit of breakfast.

“Palo Alto stay near downtown”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2012

Needed to be as close to downtown as I could afford. This fit the bill. It is less than a mile walk to the middle of downtown Palo Alto. The room and especially the bathroom were very clean. The noise level was high, with traffic from El Camino Real outside the window and the commuter rail line a half-block away.... More

Our daughter recently underwent major surgery at the Stanford Medical Center Hospital. In preparation for that event, my wife and I selected the Best Western Plus Riviera of Menlo Park to be our home away from home while the procedure was performed and the initial post-surgical recovery period passed.

“Simple , good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2012

We needed a place to sleep overnight, literally, without luxurious extras, in Palo Alto. While listed as Menlo Park, it's within walking distance tomUniversity Ave., which we did. It's quicker to walk rather than driving and looking for a parking place. Price was low. Also within walking distance of the Stanford Shopping Center.
