“The Cottages Hotel offers a refreshing take on Silicon Valley lodging, stepping away from the expected tech aesthetic with its mid-century modern design and tranquil landscaping. I particularly appreciate the private garden patios attached to each room, creating a personal oasis. It's a place where business travelers or those visiting Stanford can find both convenience and a sense of escape.”
