Summary: Cute little place, great location off the beaten path but still close to downtown and boardwalk. Could use some updates but overall clean and fairly comfortable. Sweet view of the babbling brook from the little balcony, makes you feel like you’re in the woods.

Summary: Room itself was great, good bathroom and bed was ok, liked the balcony. Only concerns we hard were that internet was sub par, they had a raccoon on the premise that was casually wandering around, at one point at night I could see it climbing a tree that was nearby, and there were parental controls where tvma programming wasn’t allowed.

Summary: Homely comfortable large family room. In a quirky setting within easy reach of beaches and downtown.

Summary: We had an excellent stay there and will visit again. It was a good value considering the other very overpriced hotels in Santa Cruz during high season. There was some road noise from the room but overall, the setting compensated for that aspect.

Summary: This place is so beautiful. The manager was amazing! We had mixed up days and she corrected it and gave us a perfect room with a balcony! We will be back and recommend it to friends!

Summary: Needs work, kind let property go, dusty under bed, leaking shower, road in front is busy.

Summary: Charming and serene location with great views from the veranda. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make us comfortable. The manager was also very generous and gave us a late checkout. Highly recommend this affordable option for Santa Cruz.

Summary: I sat and waited for the receptionist to answer the phone so I could check in. Office door locked. Note on the office door said call “Colleen”. She didn’t respond after 3 calls and a text. I never saw a staff member the entire time after waiting 30 minutes to check in- I was already running late after a full day of travel to get to a graduation party. . She called me on my cell phone and said oh I’m sorry I was talking on the other phone. She gave be me the code to find my key and verbally walked me past an overflowing disgusting large dumpster with poopy baby diapers all over and rats and flies. Room was fine. Service was terrible.

Summary: Pros: close to everything, nice gardens with wood bungalows Cons: dingy old bathrooms, toilet in our bathroom was nearly broken (clanked when you sat on it), no true blackout capability - light comes in everywhere, stupid “feature” in which bathroom light comes on when you enter room, sound from other rooms is awful - you can hear everything, pilot light always on in fireplace so slightly warm regardless of what you want, pillows are hard and bed creaky. No minifridge. It seems like they set up this properly in 1979 and haven’t updated it since. Not sure how they got the great photos but this is not worth what we paid AT ALL. couldn’t wait to leave.

Summary: The property has charm and is situated in a beautiful, forest-like setting, which made for a peaceful and quiet stay. However, it’s definitely an older place and could use some regular maintenance. The flowers in our room were dead, and the window screens were bent, which made me worry about bugs getting in. There were also an abundant amount of spider webs on our balcony, so we did not get to enjoy it. The check-in process was a bit confusing. The front office is located at the top of the building, which isn’t clearly marked, and there was no one at the desk when we arrived, just a sign instructing us to call a number. We did, and were directed to a lockbox with our key inside. This would’ve been fine if we had been informed ahead of time. There also didn’t seem to be any staff on-site for requests like extra towels or blankets, other than the cleaning crew before checkout. Similarly, we weren’t told that checkout just involved leaving the key in the room. The room itself was pleasant, with a lovely view that allowed for a bit of birdwatching, and the jetted tub was wonderful to use. Overall, better communication and a little upkeep would have gone a long way.
