Deceptive pictures of property on website
I was very disappointed because the website on hotels.com reflected the property & the amenities as they used to be…they are not that way now…everything that was on the website for the amenities was in disarray & not open to the public. The website needs to reflect a disclaimer about the amenities, and inform the prospective travelers. The service staff was great. Very friendly & helpful. I would not recommend this hotel to until a disclaimer is posted informing the public of the property’s condition

The diner on the property was very good for breakfast. Unfortunately, it closed at 5 so we didn't get to eat supper there. It is an older hotel but has been kept up with. The bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean. It was a big room with a balcony. They accommodated a late checkout for us.

The place was okay. However, the bed was uncomfortable, the air conditioner was loud. The bathroom sink water fountain barely had any water coming out and it was only on cold. The jet bathtub was dismantled so even though it looked like a Jacuzzi, it was not operational. The staff was very nice and that is the only reason I would go back.

Fun place to stay for a casual weekend. The property is undergoing some renovation. The cafe food was okay, but not great. Our room had a broken window latch and the shower was difficult to adjust, so they gave us an option to change rooms. The grounds could be improved, but the natural beauty of the Santa Cruz mountains is hard to beat. Housekeeping staff found my wallet and they called me, which was FANTASTIC! We enjoyed the live music provided by local musicians.
