Very comfortable, quiet and cozy and close to our destination which was Stanford Hospital. Slept good and breakfast was excellent. Lately we have been disappointed that Embassy Suites and Hilton have cut back on the quaily of their breakfast buffett, so we thought we'd try a new place and we were not disappointed. We will definately recommend this place to family and friends.

The Cottages Hotel has a lovely setting tucked back in the trees. The rooms are private and very clean as are the entire property grounds. Location is minutes away in any direction from any destination. Hotel staff was friendly and welcoming as is their check-in/lobby area offering a variety of beverages and snacks. I will definitely stay again and highly recommend The Cottages Hotel to anyone needing to stay in the area.
