Although the Red Cottage Inn is on the very busy street of El Camino Real, the property is set back from the road and allows for a good night's sleep. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfy. There's a nice pool and the gardens are maintained beautifully. There are lots of fancier hotels closer to the Stanford campus,... More

This hotel is a 1950's style motor hotel that has had some updating. Almost anywhere else in the US, the rooms would go for $69/night. Because it's near Stanford/Palo Alto, it's signficantly more (athough its still relatively inexpensive compared to other hotels in the area). My room was updated, was clean, reasonably quiet, plastic stall shower, with free wifi that... More

The quality of the rooms was very surprising to me. I normally stay at one of the large chains because I travel frequently for business and belong to the loyalty programs. But as part of a several day stay in the Palo Alto area, I chose this hotel because of proximity to events. It was perfect! The room was incredibly... More

This was our third extended stay at the Red Cottage Inn. We spent eight days over Christmas this year. Not much has changed since our first stay in 2009. Our room, with a king bed, was clean, warm and comfortable, despite the incessant rains that were pounding the area this year. The breakfast is quite adequate if you are light... More

This is in the heart of Silicon Valley. Just down the street from Stanford, Facebook and Google. It was half the price of everything else in site. The place was adequate and comfortable but not up to the $400 places down the street which would have $99 anywhere else., The room was clean and had all the amenities but was... More

This is a charming little place, reminds me in some ways of Dinah's Garden Hotel; much smaller, but likewise has a distinct charm and character. Well situated at the northern edge of Menlo Park, not the absolute closest to downtown PA or Stanford if that's where you need to be but it's enough off El Camino to make it feel... More

We visited Menlo Park recently and looked for somewhere to stay within easy reach of the City. Red Cottage Inn & Suites looked suitable on an Internet search and we were not disappointed. The room was big by UK standards and well equipped. We were on the first floor poolside and found it to comfortable, quiet and provided with all... More

We were looking forward to a special find with the Red Cottatge Inn, but we got a very run of the mill experience. The location is great for Menlo Park and Stanford and the room was very clean with a cute patio. That's about it. While there was an HD, flat screen TV in the room, the property, apparently, does...

This inn is set back off the very busy El Camino Real....they took something from the past and created the perfect little oasis. We had a back patio with small table and chairs, small fridg, microwave....beautiful updating, clean and tidy. Then you go around to the pool and sitting area....very charming and relaxing! The designers didn't miss a thing and... More
