We had breakfast one morning at Blue Bottle which is super close to walk to. Another morning we had breakfast in Menlo Park at Mademoiselle Collette which was delicious. The coffee service on the floor is nice in the mornings to just go out and grab a coffee.

Absolutely wonderful hotel, the room is beautiful, I loved the fireplace. I also think the staff was exceptional, clean rooms, room service came in early in the day and has done an incredible job.

One thing they could improve is coffee machines in each room. Currently don't have that option.
