This boutique hotel was such a sweet find! It was local to our event and the price was great. We loved the breakfast every morning and the staff help accommodate an early check in time. I really appreciate the flexibility here and would recommend them to family and friends!

I was in town for a family memorial service and this could not have been a better place to stay. I had grown up in Atherton and loved the vibe of The Cottages. The staff were incredibly loving and helpful. Special shout-out to the 3am shift because I stayed on east coast time and was up having coffee in the wee hours. There are lovely outdoor seating spaces, the breakfast was a treat but really it’s the people and the vibe that made it feel very much like coming home. I don’t know when it ever I’ll be back but if I do, this is exactly where I’m staying. 💓

The hotel has a homey,modern vibe. (Think Arhaus style.) The pool was fantastic! The workout room was very nice and the area surrounding the hotel was wonderful for a nice, safe run. We especially loved the use of the washer and dryer( detergent and dryer sheets provided) The bed was super comfortable and room decor was super cool! The breakfasts were AMAZING and we loved the use of the high end coffee/ espresso machine in the lobby. This high end, boutique style hotel has thought of everything and it shows! We are even ordering the refreshing LATHER lemongrass/bamboo body wash from the shower for use at home! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. 5 stars!!!
