I loved my last trip to Palo Alto, for work in the mid-90s, thanks to this wonderful B&B My room was small, as was the bathroom, but I didn’t mind I love the atmosphere of an older building that’s well maintained

The breakfast in the dining room was like family, and I met some very nice fellow travelers I hope to go back, but on my own, not for work Highly recommended

Heidi Meyer

We were only in town for a few days (sadly), but absolutely loved our stay at The Cowper Inn! Excellent location – walking distance to University Avenue’s cafes and shops etc Really responsive and incredible communication with Hugo from Cowper Inn management – many many thanks for approving our very late check out on departure day – this was SO much appreciated! Thanks again for a wonderful stay – we look forward to returning soon!

Louis Gardner

Cowper Inn is a nice Bed & Breakfast in Palo Alto The buildings (yes, there’s more than one) are well kept, clean, and comfy The room I had was spacious and well furnished with a nice, small bathroom attached

My only complaint is that the shower was super small for me Being 6’4″ I kept whacking against the walls while trying to get clean

Feedback From Real Customers

Jessica Garcia

Kind of surprised at the quality of this hotel for the price Stayed for a friend’s wedding but would not stay again Area rug and bathroom sink were dirty in our room, there were cracks in the floor of the shower, and couldn’t even get staff to answer basic housekeeping calls

The most frustrating moment was asking for washcloths and receiving bath mats, hand towels, and then moist towelettes, in that order Despite staff being friendly, they seem poorly trained

The room was great and worked for what we needed The sofa did have a stain on it The AC unit was pretty loud when in use

The hotel and room felt clean although we still took precautions The breakfast was decent, the hot tub was nice Parking is $9 which I still don’t understand but we never had to worry about not getting a space The staff we interacted with were professional and friendly

Roman Villiger

Highly recommendedThe staff is very friendly and helpfulThe rooms are wonderful

My hotel room was better than my 1st apartmentDefinitely would book again immediately!The selection at the morning buffet is excellentI would love to stay longer

Mother.Nature

The inn is located in an industrial area of San Carlos,but not a far walk from breweries and downtown The breakfast buffet was above average maybe they could mix it up a bit for those that are staying longer than a few days The gym was well equipped and the pool warm as was the jacuzzi

My only complaint was the loud heater and A/C unit as it vibrates loudly when on I literally thought a helicopter was nearby or a train ** please note there is an additional charge of $9 per day for parking at the inn!!** Doesn’t make sense when it is situated in an industrial area

Excellent customer service Clean and modern rooms Absolutely love the robot delivery

The only issue I experienced was with the EV Charger I witnessed a few people plugging in their Tesla and walking to work In the evening I saw someone watching a movie in their vehicle while it was charging Obviously they weren’t guests at the hotel I wish we got the opportunity to use the EV chargerUpdate: It seems like EV charging is a big issue at this location Most regular guests are aware of people swapping out their cars throughout the day to get a free charge This is really unfair to all the guests who wish to use this complimentary amenityThe hallways are really noisy We requested a high floor room to avoid all the noise We were very disappointed

Mitch Cullins

The hotel was great It’s well-appointed They have a sold menu, pool, TV options, etc

I had a small problem with my room (none of the internet-based TV services worked) Stuff happens/things break More than I am disappointed to not have streaming TV for a night, I am super-pleased with their efforts to make me happy Their engineer spent over an hour with tech support before determining a replacement device was needed Then later he found me in the hall, apologized and gave a great explanation – he put in a LOT of time for my one little problemIt turned out that first night the hotel was full, so they had no options But the next morning, as I walked to the car, the (Manager?) ran across the parking lot to tell me would have a new room ready and to meet him in the afternoon He didn’t have to do that Heck, he had me resigned to the “broken” room all week, and could have sold what was one of his few open rooms He didn’t He sprinted to take care of me and I appreciate itI am headed back to the area soon, and based on that experience, Aloft is where I will stay every time I can

Wang Yue

I stayed three nights in this hotel from 3/16 to 3/18 The hotel was completely cut off power on the last night, 3/18, starting at least 9pm I was back to hotel around 9pm and it was already power off

The hotel did nothing Obviously they don’t want to pay extra to call someone to solve the outage issue after-hour The electricity was not back on until next day morning around 9:30am And, apparently, they can avoid preparing breakfast because of thatThe most disappointed part was there was no explanation, no apologies and of course no refund at all Obviously, they don’t care about customer satisfaction or their service quality I’ve been traveling all over the country and this is definitely the WORST experience

They work hard to keep their place clean and presentable I loved the remodeled walk-in shower! The breakfast was tasty, hot and plentiful All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful

I booked for one night and ended up staying for four nights The room was very spacious It was better quality than other hotels that I have stayed at in this price range The location is convenient for Palo Alto, Stanford, Redwood City and other nearby areas I would stay here again

Andrew Avila

Staff is awesome, big shout out to the breakfast attendant- courteous and quick with the refills! The Front Desk person who checked us in was super helpful and attentive Requests, like extra coffee, was prompt! I mean hang up the phone it’s there prompt There’s a few things nearby- coffee, mini-mart, etc

not too far from the highway I had a King room with a couch, a powerful mini-fridge, and damn good AC Walls are a little thinHotel is not at fault for the following:Being on a major street, some times people rev their cars or race down the street not enough to complain about, but enough to notice when it happensThe hotel is on a social class border- sounds a little elitist, but essentially the neighborhood in one direction is well-off and wealthy, in the other direction it has businesses that are tailored to lower income and underprivileged peoples

Perfect place to rest for an evening It was clean and quiet A long soak in the tub and rest was what I needed

There is tea and coffee along with a microwave and refrigerator in the room I opted to eat leftovers in the morning There is a complimentary breakfast There is tea and coffee in the lobby In the morning you can hear people rolling suit cases out of the room but that’s not surprising given the setup of the room and air conditioning units It is conveniently located across from a Walgreen’s There is also a Tesla supercharger across the street

The manager is a very angry man who doesn’t respond well to simplequestions He seemed furious at checking because we used a hotelscom

The pillows were gross The room was dirty and noisy The manager was completely deranged I asked if it was possible to get different types of pillows and he got in my face about allergies etc I told him I understood and was simply inquiring if there were other pillows available He was yelling and frighteningly aggressive He followed us to the door yelling that we should find another place to stay We actually brought family with us to pack up fast and get out, he was so clearly unstable Needless to say, we found another place to stay,Update No surprise that they charged me for the entire stay What a nightmare this place is

Nancy Cornelius

We stayed at Hotel Lucent for one night on May 18, 2022 The bathroom door stopper had come off and the door fell onto my husband who was a Stanford Hospital patient (barn door type door) I jumped up and helped grab the door and immediately called the front desk

Also, the shampoo and other liquids in the “wall’ bottles did not work either The tile floor in bathroom was not cleaned (the closet had the same tile with white grout lines) but the grout lines in bathroom were black with dirt We paid $32322 for one night including tax Due to the door falling we should have been reimbursed by the hotel but we were not offered any kind of reimbursement except a verbal apology from the desk clerk (Their custodian stayed beyond his work hours to fix the door) We won’t stay there again as the hotel is “oversold” for what it is and the details and repairs and “attention to details” are missing We go to Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto but will find other accommodations

Robert Cvitkovic

As a European, this must have been one of the worst hotels I have been to The room had several problems There was a constant humming in the background; it smelled heavily like cleaner

The beds were short, and the bathroom was freezing as it had no heating All furniture is worn out Also, the breakfast has only cereals and some pastries, nothing fresh In the end, they also charged me insted of my company who made the reservation

Clean and well located We stayed here to use a free night certificateWhen we checked in, the front end staff was very nice and professional

They helped us get into our room even though the key system was down (hooray for physical keys)When we got into our room, we typically spray things and wipe things due to COVID but here, we were less worried as we could smell that it had recently been sanitized Some people may complain about it, but honestly, the faint smell of bleach is comforting to me (even before the Pandemic) Another great thing was that ALL the drinkware, silverware, and flatware was in the dish washer sterilizing while we walked in Basically, I had NO worries about cleanliness hereWe didn’t get to eat the breakfast since we were here only one day and had plans at Son & Garden around the cornerThe only thing that was a bit of a downer was no pool I’m guessing due to the location and typical clientele, a pool likely isn’t needed We did, however want one simply to let our kids play That would have been a nice touch, but not a dealbreakerOverall a great stay

Aaron Widjaja

I’ve actually been here many times and I loved it! The staff are extremely friendly and I love the dining area!! They also have kitchens, so you can cook too Even though it’s close to the train, I actually didn’t hear anything (although maybe it’s because I’m a deep sleeper haha) In fact, I’m coming back!! (yayy)! Overall, I highly recommend this hotel :)!

Property is a bit hard to find at first It’s behind another building off the street Outside parking is limited

Spacious parking in the underground garage Honestly for the bay area, the secure underground parking is probably the best idea Rooms are clean Property is clean Plenty of hot water Comfortable beds Staff is friendly and extremely helpful The gas grill by the fireplace is a great bonus The outdoor gas fireplace is nice too The fitness center is good for a hotel fitness center Would stay here again

A group of about 14 of us stayed here on a work trip for pretty much a month From the first day we checked in almost almost everyone in the group was unhappy Rooms not ready, as soon as you walked in the rooms they had a pungent smell, molded shower curtains (housekeeping never changes), no soap & toilet paper

The first day we checked in I felt sorry for the front desk receptionist at first since some of the group mistook her for the first lady that was at the desk when we first arrived but it was a different lady Everyone was complaining I gave them a fair chance till I had to beg for over a week for my room to be cleaned When housekeeping finally cleaned my room they did not put toilet paper or cheated the tub When I first arrived in this room the shower curtain was full of mold and still she refused to change it After calling front desk several times someone finally changed it Came back to my room the shower curtain package and trash was left all over my room Besides all of the above one room key opens EVERY ROOM!!!! Two members of my team had someone walked in each of their rooms!!! This place is not safe! I was so happy after we moved to another hotelThis is not even why I’m leaving the review The reason why I am leaving this review and I will be leaving a review for this hotel on every site I can and I’ll make sure my team do too! I had a package delivered there and I have yet to receive it I’ve been calling for weeks Spoke to both Edgar and Jessica several times with each saying they will get back to me and no one has Every time I call there is no manager or someone will reach out to me I know the package was delivered since they called me the day it was delivered Now I’m calling every week and no one can get back to me and let me know where my package is This package has my medication along with some other items! It’s been weeks and NO one has gotten back to me Last person I spoke with was Edgar couple days ago and today and he said to me he don’t know when the manager will contact me or if they will So I asked for the email Stay away from this hotel if you want to be safe, not get sick from mold or want your packages!!!

julie clark

The staff were amazing! And the Hotel was nice too I was sent here after I booked somewhere else and they canceled my reservation The original hotel made a huge mess of my plans and my day, and Fernando at the Residence Inn made it all better

He worked hard to make someone elses screw up into a better day for me The hotel was clean and quiet Everything we needed in the kitchen

Good hotel while traveling for work It’s affordable compared to the other hotels in the high cost area of Palo Alto Staff is great -kind, friendly and responsive

Parking has hook up to charge EVs Gym is small but has an adequate amount of cardio machines and weights They have a decent assortment of amenities in their mini store The bar and breakfast area is good The hotel could use an interior refresh There is a small outdoor area for relaxing outsideMy favorite part is being able to check in with a digital key via mobile When I arrived to the hotel I didn’t have to stop at the front desk – went straight to my room When I needed towels, I sent a message through the Hilton app and staff was responsive Overall my stays have been good

Lisa Perry

Excellent location, clean and well-appointed room and common area Full size fridge and 2 burner stovetop was so handy, as well as the short walk to Trader Joe’s, Safeway, and Whole Foods (location!)The breakfast was different everyday (a rotation of egg, meat and potatoes) and they even had a British breakfast for St Patrick’s day

Love the waffle maker

I stayed there for 5 days Booked 4 originally and added one night through Priceline The hotel cannot get the billing right

I tried to contact them but was told that they could not find any of the transactions from their end while I have a printed receipt from them Worst customer service ever Hyatt and Marriot are clearly superiorAlso, the room was close to the main road and traffic noisy was loud even at night

We were forced to stay here as our 1 month advance booking which was confirmed at another Marriott was shifted to this place to as they were overbookedRooms are very good Nice and clean

But no one comes to housekeeping everyday, that’s surprisingPlenty of parking was available when we cameAnd the breakfast was everyday the same, sausage, scrambled eggs and oats, milk, juice etc which can definately be improved

Sanjay Senthilkumar

Not the best hotel as such but definitely up there Great value for the price paid Really helpful staff and the location is amazing!Not the biggest issue but there are multiple buildings and my room was very far from the help desk

Would help to have a secondary help desk if possible

Man-Soo Hwang

This was my first stay in over 2 years Not sure if it’s the result of the pandemic staff shortage, but they would only service the room if you ask for it On one day they didn’t service it even after I asked for it to be before leaving the room in the morning

I hope this is a temporary issue as I really like this place due to the convenient location

Very clean hotel! I brought my dogs with me and they give 4 paws up!Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful I got a nice, spacious room with a full refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and kitchen sink The room had a bed, TV, leather chair and a small desk with two office chairs in it

The room has windows, but they were locked shutThe bathroom was large and spacious Everything was very clean and looked newThe hotel provides morning goodies in the lobby for guests It was a nice selection of fresh oranges, yogurt, instant oatmeal, coffee, tea and hot chocolateThe location is literally next to highway 101 in an industrial area I wasn’t too keen on the location, but that was my fault Plenty of parking available I wouldn’t leave any valuables in the car thoughOn the other side of the highway overpass is an AM/PM to get cold drinks and munchies There’s also a Wendy’s nearby I also noticed that door dash delivered to the hotel too!The hotel did not have any real garden area for dogs to potty I just took them towards the side of the building to do their business in the bushesOverall my stay was pleasant and I did not have any issues Thanks ESA!

The king suite is spacious and our room was clean with the exception of the side table by the bed The drawer and top of it needed to be cleaned before we could use it The toilet is very low to the ground, which is kind of weird to use it, but overall, the property is quiet and you cannot hear the other guests unless they are being obnoxiously loud

If you need to visit the area and need a decent place to stay, I would recommend this spot There are lots of different restaurants in the area although you wouldn’t know it just from driving down the road that the hotel is on

Perfect price, perfect place , perfect people and the most perfect view There are few diff studio types available here, mine was small/king Fully furnished and serviced 24×7

Breakfast , laundry, room service and parking are perfect This location (close to 101, markets, restaurants) and view from my room is near impossible at this price point Sarojini at the front desk helped me with my booking and room service so many times Amal and the awesome team helped me make my stay feel like a breeze Recommended for solo travelers like me and also for families as I saw many enjoying their stay

Well I guess bad business is better then good business Due to policy of extended stay if you like paying for a room that you aren’t even staying in then spend money here I finished a job early and went to check out a day early and instead of being refunded a nights stay I’m told I either checkout early and pay an additional $235 or keep my checkout for the next day and waste $136 since I won’t be staying in the room

What a joke! Don’t book here extended stay is a rip off

Quiet, right off the 101fwy, and great rooms The check in process was extremely easy The room was well cleaned, and well kept

Little scratches here and there, but overall well kept Room came with full kitchen, stove, cooking utensils, cups, mugs, pans, full size fridge, microwave, and dishwasher Small living room but comfy, king size bed and 2 TV The only reason gave it a 4 is, according to front office staff (who I suspect were the owners) the don’t control the AC system in there own hotel So my room was in high 80’s I called the front end so they can tell me how to lower the temp, and the answer I got was sorry we don’t know and have no control over the AC Which i found hard to believe

It is not as beautiful as they have portrayed in the picture There are some pros But the cons are many more and most people won’t let them go while considering an expensive stay

Cons:The staff is quite unresponsive I felt like they do not even care This could be personal though, but they have not delivered toiletries even though I requested them this morning The rooms are not quite clean Some kind of sticky thing on tables Looks are frozen puke! The bathroom door doesn’t lock Breakfast is very poor They just have some eggs, juice, bagels, 1 type of fruit, coffee, and some juice I was expecting more variety of fruits and yogurt and everything No elevator The furniture is very old and looks cheapPros:The bedroom was nice and comfyI would have given half star if available

Wonderful local hotel with all the comforts of a well kept home Ruby and DJ at the front desk were both very helpful and always attentive to whatever questions I had or help I needed The Hyatt Homes come with a basketball court, swimming pool, bbq area next to a fire pit all surrounded by a lovely pond with walking trails

The full breakfast included with your stay was full of a variety of foods and snacks to eat there or take with you for exploring the area

We love the pool and the location of this hotel The staff are all super friendly and professional Check in is fast and efficient and the managers are present and helpful

Our room was very clean and the a/c works great which is a big thing for us This hotel is older but it is still the best place to stay You can walk to Stanford Mall and the shops at Town & Country as well as downtown Palo Alto We look forward to our next visit

The location can’t be beat, and I’ve got 20 years of positive memories from this hotel The pool is nice and my kids love it (although it’s a bit chilly and I really wish there was a hot tub) The staff is good and the ground are nice- so get a garden view room if possible

The rooms are basic, serviceable But the walls are paper thin So if you have a noisy neighbor you are screwed But I’ll take my chances and will keep coming back

Have kids and want to hear more of them? Enjoy the euphonious roar of an ice machine? This is the place for you! With walls carefully engineered to be as thin as permitted by law and a layout designed to amplify 60-year-old Karen’s shrieking while she pounds tequila poolside at 2am, this is truly the ultimate experience No need to get an adjoining room for Uncle Steve, it won’t save you from his snoring and you won’t be sleeping either wayPros: The location was great, the staff were efficient and friendly, and the room was clean

Check-in/check-out was smoothCons: Noise 🗣️🛏️ Guests were yelling in the pool area until 1-2am for the three nights I was there which could clearly be heard through closed doors, and no staff enforced any kind of quiet hours Other noise from guests in the hallway weren’t stopped by the thin walls and made the whole experience pretty terrible One morning I was woken up at 6am by an employee dragging pool chairs on the concreteI only ended up getting a few hours of sleep a night and it impacted the business trip I was on I would not recommend this experience to others The shouting of guests stays with me in my dreams but I’m lucky to already have tinnitus to drown it out

When I walked into the room it smelled COMPLETELY like cleaning chemicals You would think this meant that the room was clean but it wasn’t The sheets weren’t clean, some pillows smelled like someone’s cologne, there was hair in the bathtub, and walls are thin

You can hear people walking up the stairs This is just a motel 6 dressed up I won’t be back !
