Atherton Inn Bed & Breakfast — Hotel in Atherton

My wife and I needed a place for a few days and we were directed here. From the street we thought that we were lost for a minute. The Atherton Inn is off the main thoroughfares yet close to just about anything you could need. In fact, the location is so convenient that I rode my bike everywhere I needed to be. When we arrived, we were told to make ourselves at home by Ann, our host. I did that immediately,

The first thing I noticed was that this didn't have hotel furniture. It really felt like I was at a friend's house. The furniture was comfortable. The temperature was comfortable. Everything about the house was intuitive. There was tea and coffee available as well as a fruit bowl and the things that you'd have in your own kitchen. everything was inviting as well.

The neighborhood is very safe, and it was QUIET. I was sure that I was the only person in the house. As it happened, all of the suites were booked. There wasn't any of the usual road noise that you may get at a hotel on the main drag. The seemingly elusive commodity of quiet and peacefulness is here. The rooms are spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. We had a gas fireplace, but the temps were such that we chose not to use it. We did most of our dining (other than breakfast) outside on the back patio while watching the hummingbirds. The grounds are well kept and again comfortable.

The rooms like the rest of the house were well laid out. We had everything we needed. Laundry was available if we needed as well as a refrigerator and microwave. All of the rooms are upstairs. There's an elevator for those who may have mobility issues and low shower curbs.

Since it was a bed and breakfast I was looking forward to that part. Depending on the day, Ann or Maria will make your breakfast to order. There are no heat lamps! We enjoyed the company of the other guests, and nobody felt rushed.

There was a lot of thought put into the layout of this house, and it was evident in the week we spent there. So, the short version here is: The accommodations were comfortable, and everything worked. Would we stay here again?...

We loved everything about this place. We spent two nights there and wished we could have stayed much longer. The rooms at this B&B are spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet, and all have some access to the garden at back of the building. We stayed in the Zinfandel Room. The mattress on our bed was a dream, the bath was very spacious with a great walk-in shower, and our room opened onto a large deck overlooking the back garden. Breakfast is cooked to order every morning; we especially enjoyed the waffles! Fresh fruit, coffee, tea, water and wine are always available. There is a large comfortable living area on the main floor with reclining leather chairs, a large-screen TV, a fireplace, a piano, and French doors opening onto the garden terrace. There is also an elevator, which we found very helpful, especially when we were coming and going with luggage. The inn is located in a quiet residential neighborhood that is safe and walkable, and parking is available right in front. Ann, the innkeeper, is a delight, and she went out of her way to make our stay very special. If you like to feel at home when you're away from home, this place is for you!...
