Only a couple of minor things: the water look very long to start running warm, no lotion in the room.

Spacious room in a great location at a reasonable price (for Palo Alto standards). Good quality Nespresso coffee in the room, fridge, iron, good wifi. Clean, quiet room with ample natural light. Seamless check in and check out process including free one-hour late checkout.

There is no lobby.

The bedroom was very cozy.

Charming small hotel in heart of down town Palo Alto. So refreshing versus the modern characterless hotels elsewhere in the city

Room heat was dicey, but adequate, just hard to set.

Location is perfect in the heart of Palo Alto. Staff was nice. I did not try the breakfast.

The host was friendly and helpful and the place was quiet. I especially appreciated the location, which was walking distance from downtown and the office where I was working.

The room that I stayed in did not have an attached bathroom. This was a minor inconvenience to me, but it may be for others. My room was also located on the upper level facing West (the street). Since this is a beautiful old home (1896), it has no air conditioning which may get warm during the summer.

The Cowper Inn was a clean inn that resides in a beautiful old and historic home. It is convenient and close to Palo Alto and Stanford University.

this place oozes charm! I loved the atmosphere and the comfort. the home-like vibe makes you feel like you actually live in Palo Alto. the location is superb for the town and Stanford Uni and campus. there was great coffee in the room and it was good to see large toiletries’ bottles resulting in waste the owner was super friendly and helpful

1. The amount of noise at 7:45am. I tried sleeping in after a long week of conducting training classes and the Inn decided that starting laundry was more important. You can also hear almost anything that is happening outside especially when the caretaker was watering at 10:50pm right outside my window. They should change their checkout to 9am since they won't let you sleep in. This was every morning, I only tried to sleep in on my last day. 2. The shower did not have ANY water pressure. I had to lean forward to get under the water. I've posted a picture. 3. Though the products were fine, I didn't like how there were industrial-size Body wash/S&C available. 4. NO BREAKFAST - It was originally on the listing but when I was confirmed, it said that breakfast was no longer available. I tried looking for other hotels but, not knowing it was Stanford's graduation, there were no other hotels available. You would think at 500.00 a night that something would be available. 5. Coffee offering is a joke. Don't expect any kind of coffee service in the room. Mismatched cups, no condiments, etc. made it feel like I was staying at a friend's guest house. 6. The check-in process was a nightmare. They use Quickbooks so if you have a daily limit on your bank or CC, you will need to call the bank before checking in so there's no issue. 7. If you are traveling for business, this is not the place to stay. This Inn is more of a bed in a fancy, historic house.

The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. Very close to the main street of PA. The neighborhood is pretty quiet and a nice walk.

Cowper Inn is top-tier! Extremely comfortable, charming, and clean. I had everything I needed in my room—from coffee, to fresh towels, to a big bathroom—and more. The manager/owner gave me a warm welcome and got me situated right away. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Breakfast no longer offered. That was a big reason I chose Cowper Inn

Great location.

Amenities were dismal: no staff, no office, no public areas, no cable or TVs, no breakfast, cheap in-room pod coffeemaker that didn't work, box of tea from Trader Joes, no creamer or sugar, soap and shampoo from Costco, no lotion.

Room was charmingly decorated and spotless.

I stayed there for 15 days. It was a wonderful place to stay at Palo Alto. It was really comfortable, clean and very well equipped. Great location. Hugo was an amazing owner! He is so kind and helpful. Strongly recommended, I would definitely stay again.

It's called a 'Bed and Breakfast', but there's not breakfast. There was no AC, so my room (and especially the common area) was stuffy/uncomfortably warm and it was difficult to fall asleep. I opened the windows and eventually cooled off, but then the outside lights shone into the room. At a minimum, fans should be in the rooms. There was no iron or ironing board. My clothes generally come out of a suitcase wrinkled and it's nice to be able to iron them. The water pressure in the shower was abysmal and it took 10-15 minutes of running before the water warmed up. The toilet was the shortest toilet I've ever used.

The location was convenient for my stay. The property manager was agreeable and the rooms were cleaned daily.
