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.

Very clean, felt very safe. Large bathroom/shower. Breakfast is absolutely fantastic, no short cuts. One evening I had I decided to microwave a dinner and the front office allowed me to use their microwave. Will return again. The quality and service is excellent!
