Lovely, cozy place & all the rooms were unique with their own views. We loved having a room on the water. Great location to experience a short stay in Santa Cruz! Great water pressure in the shower!

I truly enjoyed how spacious the room and bathroom were. The bed was very comfortable, the bedding soft and warm. I found it stylish, I kind of forgot I was in a hotel. The decoration was nice.

Perfect location for the pier and boardwalk. Only 10 bedrooms and plenty of free parking for all rooms. The room was large with a very comfortable bed and lovely marble bathroom. We appreciated the wine and nibbles each evening and the breakfast quiche each morning. The chef came out regularly to refill so nothing ran out.

The inn is located in an old Victorian house - and it was beautiful renovated and furnished. The renovation was done carefully so that spirit of the Victorian style didn’t get lost while habe modern and comfortable features.
