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!!!

It was a bit noisy due to the proximity of the train tracks you can hear the train. Besides that it’s an amazing venue to stay at.

Everything from arrival to checkout was perfect. We loved the style of the remodel. I felt like I should be paying for breakfast because it was so good. Workout room had a peloton! And laundry with complimentary soap. Also 24 hour coffee from a legit espresso machine. My sister already rebooked.

The Cottages staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The facilities were updated, impeccable, and tastefully done. The morning breakfast was excellent, including a coffee maker that could make coffee and tea in many varieties. I had a Starbucks quality latte each morning - for free - at the push of a button. I would absolutely stay at The Cottages again.
