The hotel provided a truly restful experience. The pristine environment was immediately noticeable and appreciated. Every surface gleamed, and the air smelled fresh and inviting. The comfortable furnishings encouraged relaxation after a long day. Soft linens and plush seating added to the overall sense of ease. It was clear that attention to detail was a priority throughout the establishment. From the lobby to the guest rooms, everything felt carefully considered for maximum comfort. This level of cleanliness and comfort created a truly memorable stay.

This place is a little gem in Menlo Park. Exceptionally clean, very well maintained, nice staff, little touches like complimentary coffee and breakfast were a hit with our group. By far one of the best places we’ve stayed in the Bay Area! Will definitely revisit!

Very clean, felt very safe. Large bathroom/shower. Breakfast is absolutely fantastic, no short cuts. One evening I had I decided to microwave a dinner and the front office allowed me to use their microwave. Will return again. The quality and service is excellent!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The Cottages Hotel is strong on service, extremely clean and comfortable and amazingly quiet (thanks to being set back from El Camino Dr). The location is a bit removed from downtown Menlo Park, so perhaps best for those with a car or who don't mind being one of the few people walking along busy roads. I would happily stay here again.

New favorite spot

This place is a gem. Delicious breakfast. Really nice and accommodating staff. Gorgeous property with outdoor seating and a pool. Even though the place is small- they still have a laundry facility and small but great gym. Plus easy parking.

Great hotel! We came to watch our nephew play baseball for Menlo College. We parked at the hotel and walked to the game. Highly recommend this hotel!
