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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
