    clean bathroom
    quiet neighborhood
    spacious room
    no breakfast
    noise disturbances

    I was visiting nearby Stanford University and stayed in a suite. The bathroom was impressively clean and spacious, which was a nice surprise. The quiet atmosphere allowed for restful nights, and the neighborhood felt safe for evening walks. I would have loved to enjoy breakfast here, but the cozy vibe made up for it.

    historic charm
    noise disturbances
    poor water pressure

    Charming historic setting with unique decor and character.

    I had a frustrating experience with noise disturbances every morning, which severely affected my ability to rest after training sessions. The water pressure in the shower was dismal, and it took an unreasonable amount of time for the water to warm up. It was disappointing to find no breakfast options available, especially considering the cost of the stay, making the entire experience feel lacking for a bed and breakfast.

    poor service
    lousy amenities

    what an undelivered promise! i almost gave a good review until i realized the laundry noise at 7:45 am was ruining my precious sleep. the shower had no water pressure, making me feel like i was standing under a sad garden hose. and for 500 dollars a night, where is my complimentary upgrade?

    helpful staff

    This place suits me perfectly, providing wifi, free parking, and a leisure room. On my first stay, the staff offered me a cold drink during the heat. I’ll definitely return for a city trip!

    Charming Stay with Quirky Character!

    Staying in a cozy, corner suite with historic charm created a unique experience. The owner was welcoming, sharing stories that brought the place to life. Although breakfast wasn’t offered, local cafes provided great alternatives. Recommend checking out nearby eateries for delightful morning options.

    spacious room
    high-quality coffee
    absence of breakfast
    musty odor
    steep price

    The spacious room offered ample natural light and good wifi, making for a comfortable stay. A significant perk was the high-quality Nespresso coffee provided. However, the absence of breakfast options was disappointing, and the room had a slightly musty odor that detracted from the experience. While the check-in process was seamless, the price felt steep for what was offered.

    cozy corner suite
    ample natural light
    comfortable bed
    no breakfast options

    The Cowper Inn is a delightful treat! The cozy corner suite offered ample natural light and a beautifully clean bathroom, perfect for relaxation. The comfortable bed was like sleeping on a cloud, making me feel right at home after long days exploring downtown Palo Alto, just blocks away. Plus, the free WiFi and fresh brewed Nespresso coffee were a nice touch to start the day right!

    No breakfast options.
