The Cottages Hotel

Great service & location

Great smaller hotel with nice rooms and good morning breakfast. Very nice professional staff. This will be my go to in Menlo Park.

Excellent hotel

An impeccably clean and quiet facility with amazing staff, well rounded breakfast and countless details designed to delight and provide convenience.

Very nice furnishings. Nice pool.

Lack of working USB ports.

You have the "motel" appearance with all the perks of a hotel! Rooms are modernly furnished, bathrooms are nice (and great water pressure! which is something I value a lot!), and very comfortable mattresses. The staff is friendly, the Wi-Fi works great, and the hotel offers a really nice breakfast. I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the swimming pool. All in all, a great experience.

Nothing. Everything was good!

I visit Palo Alto a couple of times a year and have decided to stay here every time. The rooms are clean and thoughtfully designed, the grounds are beautiful, and parking is easy. Can’t ask for much more. Looking forward to staying here again!

Peaceful stay, close to Stanford campus, and a wonderful breakfast/coffee machine

N\A

My girlfriend and I were looking at hotels near the Stanford Shopping Center since we'd be there for a little getaway. What really caught my eye from the pictures at first from The Cottages Hotel was the breakfast - I thought "damn, full omelets? That's new." So we went, thinking that it was hard to tell what the rooms were really like from the pictures, but at least there was a little outside patio to sit in. Upon entering the room, we noticed how nicely lit the place was, how spacious the backyard was, how clean the bathroom and room were, and there were all these cool little accommodations such as ear plugs and a scented spray for sleep. The area itself is very peaceful and surrounded by nature, and overall we felt like this was a real getaway. I think the occupancy of the place was also very small, which allowed the staff to be more personal and attentive to manageable sizes. The staff, speaking of, were very willing to help with little needs we had: an extra pair of slippers, a garbage bag, forks, plates, etc. Overall, already thinking of coming back in the future!
