What guests say
9.4 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 301 guest reviews
The Cottages Hotel earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its beautifully designed, spotlessly clean rooms, welcoming staff, and well-regarded complimentary breakfast, with many guests calling it a hidden gem and returning for repeat stays. The main gripes are practical rather than serious: thin walls and occasional noise (including a passing train), rooms that can feel smaller than photos suggest, and a breakfast spread that a few felt lacked variety. Overall, guests consistently regard it as excellent value for the Bay Area.
