Just a fine choice for a city break in Santa Cruz with great value for the money. The breakfast served was first-rate, a real highlight! Make sure to check out the lovely areas for conversation on the property.

The location is just a block from the wharf, making it a prime spot for those wanting easy access to local attractions. The ambiance of the building, a beautifully restored mansion from the 1870s, offers a cozy environment, complete with high ceilings in the room and a charming decor throughout the common areas.

The check-in process left a lot to be desired, with discrepancies regarding payments that turned into an uncomfortable exchange just before the holidays. If you enjoy a straightforward breakfast experience, you might find the options lacking variety, with egg dishes that don't always fit the bill and no yogurt on offer. Additionally, noise from adjacent rooms can detract from the otherwise peaceful vibe, depending on the company of your neighbors.

Mixed feelings about this

The bed was exceptionally comfy, and the bathroom felt luxurious. I enjoyed the delightful cheese and wine welcome after a long drive, making my stay feel special.

Noise from adjacent rooms disrupted my sleep, and the breakfast offerings had a noticeable inconsistency, leaving me yearning for something more.

Complimentary wine and cheese hour

excellent proximity to the beach and delightful dining options nearby

I absolutely loved the convenient location as it was just a few steps from the beach and close to amazing restaurants like Jack O'Neill Restaurant & Lounge. the nice touch of wine and cheese in the afternoons made my stay even more enjoyable! As a solo traveler, I appreciated the lounge area to relax and enjoy some free coffee and cookies, though it would be great if the check-in process was a bit smoother.

Cut to the chase, here’s my take

A hidden gem! This Victorian gem is cozy and welcoming. We indulged in fresh baked cookies upon arrival and a breakfast quiche that’s to die for! An easy stroll to the pier made it even more perfect. The staff were exceptional, accommodations spacious, and their evening wine and cheese was a delightful touch.

Our stay was fantastic, with a cozy room featuring an electric fireplace and a jacuzzi-style tub that made it feel extra special. The breakfast was delicious, especially the fresh pastries, but the noisy air conditioner somewhat disrupted our sleep. We'd totally return for another visit!

great location with complimentary wine and cheese welcomed us warmly

Beautiful room, delicious breakfast.

Charming inn with a lovely wine and cheese reception. Room on the third floor lacked A/C and was quite warm. Convenient biking access to the boardwalk.

The room with the fireplace was just amazing! I felt so cozy and at home. The beach is just a short stroll away. Only downside was the jacuzzi didn't work. 😕

i had an amazing stay at this inn, even better than my previous visit to santa cruz. the room was beautifully decorated with a fantastic ocean view, and the breakfast included fresh pastries and hot dishes delivered to my room. the staff went above and beyond in making us feel welcome and ensuring we had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.

the wi-fi connection was spotty.

100% recommend for a getaway

Cozy room, friendly staff, our lovely stay was enhanced by the delightful complimentary wine and appetizers served each evening, and we appreciated the convenient location for exploring the area as we took advantage of the on-site parking.

Nothing all good
