This was my first stay and The Cottages and won't be my last. The grounds are well manicured and inviting, complete with comfortable outdoor furniture in a courtyard with a large fireplace. My room had it's own private patio with table and chairs. The rooms were spotless and modern, with automatic ambient lighting, wood floors, attractive decor, and a luxurious shower space. All the little details were taken care of. The breakfast was delicious, with many offerings, stoneware plates and gold flatware. So many nice extra touches. This is my new favorite place to stay when I come visit my son at Menlo College (and it's right across the street from the school!).

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Cottages Hotel in Menlo Park, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The rooms are beautifully designed—spacious, airy, and thoughtfully decorated to complement the natural surroundings. The cleanliness and attention to detail were impeccable, making the stay feel even more special. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the amenities provided were just right. One of the standout features is the serene outdoor setting. The courtyard, shaded by the ancient oak, is a perfect spot to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning or unwind in the evening under soft ambient lighting. The entire property is landscaped beautifully, creating a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to assist with any requests. From check-in to check-out, the service was warm and attentive, making the experience feel personal and inviting. In terms of location, The Cottages Hotel is conveniently situated near local shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore Menlo Park. Plus, the complimentary Wi-Fi and parking were great perks, especially for business travelers. Overall, I highly recommend The Cottages Hotel for anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy, and well-maintained retreat in the heart of Menlo Park. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, this hidden gem is sure to leave a lasting impression!

Beautiful Stay - A Gem in Menlo Park

Great hotel! My room and common areas were exactly like the photos on the website. Very clean and spacious and comfortable. I was there for 2 weeks and enjoyed my stay. One comment is that their website says there are bikes for rent, but this isn’t the case. The location is a bit far from Palo Alto, but if you have a car or just Uber/Lyft will get you everywhere. Super quiet and the gym is small but clean and the laundry facility is also helpful when you’re staying so long.
