This was my first stay and The Cottages and won't be my last. The grounds are well manicured and inviting, complete with comfortable outdoor furniture in a courtyard with a large fireplace. My room had it's own private patio with table and chairs. The rooms were spotless and modern, with automatic ambient lighting, wood floors, attractive decor, and a luxurious shower space. All the little details were taken care of. The breakfast was delicious, with many offerings, stoneware plates and gold flatware. So many nice extra touches. This is my new favorite place to stay when I come visit my son at Menlo College (and it's right across the street from the school!).
