Convenient location to Stanford but room quite small but clean. Parking also a challenge. Some sort of bar or nightclub next door, was quite noisy.

There were lot of noise early in the morning around 5 am, I think staff was setting up breakfast at the common area. It was super noisy and inconvenient to sleep.

Very pleasant stay. Great staff and room was clean and modern.
Breakfast was healthy and pleasant. Fantastic coffee ( Nespresso at the lobby).
Ask for a room away from the kitchen area as they were preparing breakfast items at 5.30/ 6 am and it was so noisy.
Over all a very positive experience!

I had a wonderful stay here. Great location, walkable to everything, the staff was friendly and accommodating, room was clean, bed is comfortable, it’s quiet, and they always kept the refreshment area will cold infused water and coffee. Would stay here again and recommend. They also have complimentary bikes to ride around town.

Clean and comfortable in a great area. Excellent. Little breakfast. My only criticism is that I want a real door on the bathroom. I cannot imagine why architects think it's cool to put Windows and partial doors in front of toilets.

Nice hotel, expensive but not for Palo Alto
Nice hotel on the basic side but was clean and front desk was nice. There was a homeless man out front going through the trash so that was a little scary but he didn’t bother me.

Hotel Keen is perfect for my stays in Palo Alto for track meets at Stanford. It is next to dining and shopping options and a short walk to Stanford’s campus. Yhry have a bike to use and even had an umbrella to use when it was raining.
