This would have to be one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. Superbly located above Cowell Beach in the middle of Santa Cruz, it is a short walk to many of the town's amenities and at the beginning of the lovely West Cliff walk. The hotel is very pleasantly appointed and is extremely comfortable in a delightful, understated... More

We recently stayed here for one night on a last minute trip to Santa Cruz. We were really happy with our room which included a fireplace and a view of the ocean! We also had a patio, and we spent the evening drinking wine and enjoying the view. The boardwalk and many restaurants are in walking distance if you don't... More

Small and simple motel style property with one of best views in Santa Cruz that is close to the beach, wharf, and boardwalk. I was pleasantly surprised because I had booked the least expensive room and I could sit on my bed and look at the beautiful view of the ocean! There was a common balcony but hardly anyone ever...

We were super excited about our room with a view but when we got there they did not give us the room with the fireplace and jacuzzi that i ordered. We were told it was booked and thats not what we had ordered which i knew what was ordered but never got a confirmation by email. I called to have... More

My first impression of this hotel wasn't great. The lobby looked really dated and our check-in was delayed an hour due to a shortage of staff. For what we were charged, I wasn't pleased (we'd splurged for a jacuzzi room). I was hoping that the room would be as nice as in the photos. Fortunately, it was. I felt like... More

We enjoyed this small intimate inn facing the Santa Cruz beach and pier. We had one of the larger rooms. As noted in other reviews, each room faces the water, are very private, comfortable, and quiet, and include outdoor seating and table. We found our stay exceptional and the staff very helpful. Its location was also a plus as you... More

I have stayed here many times and reviewed it once before. Not sure I will stay here the next time I visit Santa Cruz. The location is perfect. Divine to wake up on the cliffs! Lovely gardens. There is a very good breakfast included in the price. There are bagels with cream cheese, home baked scones (delish!) and muffins, boiled... More

I stayed here for one night midweek while in Santa Cruz. All rooms are behind a locked gate, so the only people possibly walking by your room would be fellow guests. The room was clean and fairly roomy. We kept the window open on the beach side and heard the waves all night. Very relaxing! Even though the inn is... More

This is a great find in scruz. Very clean beautiful view. Above all the beach crazies overlooking the beach, pier and boardwalk. Our room had a fireplace. Continental breakfast and wine and cheese in the evening. Enjoy watching the surfers and visit wine tastings. Lots of great bakeries here. Get the salt water taffy on the pier. The sea and... More
