I would happily stay here again. The rooms were spotless. I worried a little that because of the location it might be noisy, but it was very quiet. Close to everything, but off the main streets. Very nice.

We had two rooms not only did we get rooms right next to each other but the owners are extremely nice people. We absolutely would stay again, by far one of the best places I've stayed in Santa Cruz.
