“Hotel Keen carves out its niche with surprisingly thoughtful touches for a 3-star property. The emphasis on wellness, with Peloton bikes and 'Fit Kits,' appeals to the busy traveler, and I like that they offer wine tastings. While some guests have reported issues with room readiness, the hotel's prime location near Stanford and downtown Palo Alto remains a significant draw.”
