    Friendly staff, the grounds of the property were very nice. Liked that it's not a big hotel. The room was well maintained and the bed was very comfortable. Nice private outdoor area.

    What a treasure! This place felt like a boutique inn, mixed in on the strip of basic motels. Free breakfast was excellent! Wonderful coffee maker with water for Numi tea at all hours! Room felt very well updated. I will return again!

    included breakfast was great- Good variety, but very straight forward buffet style. Rooms were updated, clean, and modern. Assortment of bath/body products and other grooming ammenities were top-notch. Garment steamer in the room was a great bonus. Slippers and bathrobe were a nice touch, and the private patio area was a great spot for morning coffee.

    A lovely refuge well appointed and situated close to everything yet quiet and unique.

    From arrival to departure the staff of the Cottages in all areas, breakfast room, housekeeping and front desk were extremely friendly & professional. Breakfast was most satisfying and offered something for every appetite. The Jura coffee machine (available 24/7) is one of, if not the best available. My room was spacious, beautifully equipped in the style of a French boutique hotel..fluffy towels, fine bath amenities and a small private garden thru the sliding doors. A true refuge.

    Nothing to complain about.

    Quiet. It was set back far enough from a busy street to be very quiet . Rooms had coffee and tea in k cups, including decaf options. Lovely shower with handheld spray. Small desk in the room. Comfortable bed. Great parking close to the room.

    The aircon, which we used for heating, (re)starts each time with a loud clank/bang noise. Then, it remains relatively loud while operating, and due to its positioning on the floor seems to aspire-in and lift-up some fine dust, which may be an issue if one is allergy (or similar) sensitive. We got used to it, but it was the only item that was out of sync with an otherwise perfect, absolutely perfect, room.

    Newly redone, it seems architecturally designed, tastefully decorated, and with nice materials and finishing touches. Good quality bedding and towels (not branded, but on par with Marriott), large TV, excellent water pressure, fast and stable wi-fi. It felt spacious, possibly in part due to the room's high ceiling. It was perfectly quiet, most likely because the rooms are well sound-insulated (caveat: cannot be 100% sure because the adjacent rooms seemed empty). The overall feeling was of better quality than in the pictures, meeting and exceeding expectations. Although some of the front desk staff seemed new and unsure of what they could or couldn't do, or how, (we had an unusual request), everyone was polite, nice, and they tried to be helpful. Wholeheartedly recommended, thank you for an excellent stay!

    Hmmm... not really sure what could have been improved on. I will point out that there was no bathtub in our room. Only a shower. But it was of a nice size and had the "rainfall" shower head as well as a handheld shower wand.

    This is a gem of a hotel in Menlo Park, CA. Was in town for a Stanford football game. Hotel is located a couple miles down the street from the school. Very convenient! The room was super clean and comfortable, and had a little, private patio seating area that faced the pool. (Room #2). Keurig machine in the room was nice and had Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf pods of coffee as well as tea. Breakfast was very good with a choice of omelets, sausages, etc. Cups of fruit, toast, muffins, bagels, cereal, and oatmeal. One of the coolest things is the coffee machine in the lobby which will make lattes, espressos, cappuccino, etc. I will not stay anywhere else whenever I head that way. The grounds are lovely and are decorated for the holidays in a nice, understated way.
