Cozy and quiet

Cozy place. Nice and quiet. Has a nice patio and pool I wish I could have used more. Breakfast was good, not your typical fake eggs and fake food, so it was healthy choice with homemade oatmeal and an excellent coffee machine.

This place is a little gem in Menlo Park. Exceptionally clean, very well maintained, nice staff, little touches like complimentary coffee and breakfast were a hit with our group. By far one of the best places we’ve stayed in the Bay Area! Will definitely revisit!

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.
