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!

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.

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.

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.

Quaint, clean, and nice

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.

No windows to speak of

Basically there are no windows in the rooms. It’s fine for sleeping but isn’t a pleasant space to spend time.
