MICHAEL LOUIS JR, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Cottages Hotel is strong on service, extremely clean and comfortable and amazingly quiet (thanks to being set back from El Camino Dr). The location is a bit removed from downtown Menlo Park, so perhaps best for those with a car or who don't mind being one of the few people walking along busy roads. I would happily stay here again.
James, 2-night trip

Everything was great! The rooms were stylish, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very accommodating. We will definitely return next time we are in the area.

This place is a gem. Delicious breakfast. Really nice and accommodating staff. Gorgeous property with outdoor seating and a pool. Even though the place is small- they still have a laundry facility and small but great gym. Plus easy parking.
