For an inn of this caliber, the bed was very hard, and the linens were rough, and no variation in pillow size so somebody like me who prefers a small thin pillow, have no option. Otherwise, charming setting in great location, and absolutely wonderful ..."

Travelocity Verified Review

"We chose the property because it had space available last minute for a spontaneous trip to Santa Cruz. The location was a nice short walk to downtown and several nice restaurants. The room was clean and nicely appointed. We only spent one night and did not use anything else on the property other than the room. We did notice that there were people partying and making a lot of noise. It didn't bother us because we were far enough away. I don't think anyone was supervising the property to make sure other guests weren't inconvenienced. If you are looking for a quiet place, this may not be your best choice."
