The Cottages is exceptionally clean, and nicely appointed with amenities like a delicious breakfast, a Dyson hair dryer, 24 hour espresso/coffee/tea, a Peloton in small but sufficient gym, and free laundry. It is set back from the busy main road so it is quiet. The pool is small, but pleasant and well kept. I am a picky customer and I would stay at the Cottages again.

The main problem was that the room was smelling really bad when we checked in. I found a creepy Crawley bug, about 2 inches long, in the bathroom. We had to sleep with the French door open and the fan running to clear out the air. My son developed a cold due to this.

This was an excellent find in spendy area. Cozy, clean and quiet. Staff friendly and helpful. It’s rare to find nice glasses ( not plastic ) and real plates and silverware at breakfast. Loved the private patio off our room. All details felt thoughtful and what I would have expected to find at a more expensive hotel. Even had towels on lounges by pool. We are in the area often for family and will make this our first choice from now on.

Parking was easy, but actually getting to the parking lot was a bit of a pain -- it's on a one way, with an awkward left turn/u-turn if you come from the other direction.

Pool was closed :(

The images aren't wrong but perhaps misleading. It's definitely not in some nature oasis type setting, it's definitely just in the middle of a city with apartment complexes to both sides.

The room itself was spacious and clean.

Very comfortable, quiet and cozy and close to our destination which was Stanford Hospital. Slept good and breakfast was excellent. Lately we have been disappointed that Embassy Suites and Hilton have cut back on the quaily of their breakfast buffett, so we thought we'd try a new place and we were not disappointed.
We will definately recommend this place to family and friends.

The beds are wonderfully soft with just enough firmness and the room is near and clean. Only two downsides are the private patio furniture has a massive quantity of spider webs so I won't be sitting out there and I have counted 3 mosquitoes in the room that I cant seem to kill so I have ended up with a five or six mosquito bites already.

A great stay in Menlo park CA

Breakfast was great and offered good diversification in choice. The spaces for gathering or privacy were outstanding
the staff was first rate, so courteous and helpful.

Good nights sleep!

The room was on the smaller side but very very clean and had everything you could think of. The decor was spot on. We were in town for a local soccer tournament. It was nice to have a quiet nights sleep without doors constantly slamming or people running up and down hallways. Parking was so easy. We will be staying again.

Unlike large hotel chain, this hotel is clean and cozy with easy parking, friendly staff (even the cleaning crews) and free breakfast. Highly recommended.

The only suggestion for the hotel is to make the hotel sign more visible especially at night. It is a bit difficult to see when street parked cars block the view of the entrance.

Cozy and quiet

Cozy place. Nice and quiet. Has a nice patio and pool I wish I could have used more. Breakfast was good, not your typical fake eggs and fake food, so it was healthy choice with homemade oatmeal and an excellent coffee machine.

Spent two weeks travelling on business and, as an experienced and frequent traveler, I can 100% vouch for choosing this hotel as your next option to stay in Northern California. This place is truly a hidden gem for those travelling to the Stanford-Palo Alto area for business or leisure. Nested in the shade of tall oaks right off the main local road, El Camino Real, it is so conveniently located that it takes you only 10 minutes to commute to the Stanford campus, 30 minutes to SFO, and 40-60 minutes to San Francisco and amazing coastal beaches. The hotel service will pleasantly surprise you with incomparable value for money. Just some highlights of their service include very private, well-maintained, quiet, and pristine clean rooms, each with a cozy little backyard; first-class breakfast featuring numerous options for eggs, meats, milk product, juices, fruit, pastries, etc.; 24/7 available Swiss coffee machine with 15+ drink options to choose from; spacious and clean pool area in a serene tree-abundant inner yard; outdoor fireplace with tables and chairs; on-site FREE LG washer/dryer with complimentary detergent joined with a small but very decent gym having new and upscaled equipment; and this list can go on. The cherry on top is the outstanding hospitality and class of service demonstrated by the hotel staff - receptionists, room service, or maintenance pros - they were all very helpful, friendly, and proactive. Kudos to this boutique hotel's team. It feels like home!

One Day Trip - Impressed

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!
