Jennifer checked us in, and she was wonderful! So sweet and welcoming!!! Our room was clean and spacious! Hotel is located within walking distance to stores and restaurants!! We would absolutely stay here again!
The inn was clean and comfortable. It is on a busy street but we were not bothered by the noise. The breakfast was basic but satisfying. The rooms were comfortable to stay in. This inn is on the north end of Santa Cruz close to Natural Bridges State Park.

The room was clean, staff was good and efficient. Breakfast was disappointing - cereal, waffles and coffee, but no protein or even a banana.

Check in was easy and the attendant was pleasant and helpful with dinner options in the area. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was basic with a nice variety of choices.
Excellent customer service. Clean. quiet. Enjoyed the breakfast/breakfast room (nice selection, great coffee, and fresh fruit). Nice covered outdoor hot tub. Felt like a bed-and-breakfast versus a motel vibe. Very comfortable. Can’t wait to go back.
