Comfortable and quiet

Room was comfortable and quiet. Hotel is back from busy street and designed with noise barrier to keep it quiet. Delicious breakfast with espresso machine and office staffed 24/7. Great convenient location.

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!
