Decent inn, but old and not quite as advertised
The property is nice enough, and walking distance to downtown Santa Cruz. The room did not match the pictures. The fireplace had been replaced with one of those space heaters that looks like a fireplace. And even though the website claims that they serve breakfast and have cookies and wine and cheese in the afternoon, none of those things is true. The lobby was closed. I tried calling several times before my stay only to go straight to voicemail and never hear back. The “check-in process was to grab a key off of pegboard” outside the main building. I don’t think there were any staff there other than the cleaning crew. The place is definitely showing its age. Carpets a little musty, floor is a little creaky. My room had an outdoor hot tub, so there’s that. But overall, had more of a motel feel than an inn feel. At least it was pretty quiet.

No employee at reception desk, had to call a phone number and was given a code to a key box with our room key in it. The room floor was tilted due to structual settling of the foundaton.

The property is very quaint, very cute. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. The rooms are slightly smaller than the photos make them look, pretty common. The Wi-Fi was unavailable during our entire visit not sure exactly what caused that. There’s no AC in the rooms, but they do provide a fan and it was actually fairly chilly the night that we stayed. Big thumbs up for how quiet it was not a lot of traffic noise not a lot of other guest noise. Bed was very comfortable tub had jets. We didn’t use the fireplace, but it was great that it was there for the really cool nights. The grounds were as advertised all in all this property is great for a short stay. I don’t know that I would choose it for someplace where I was going to be for a week, but not disappointed at all with what I found when I got there .

4/10 Fair

Our door was ajar when we arrived and the room was dingy at best. Sand from the beach was not vacuumed. Just felt kinda creepy with no one in the office either. Suggest closing for a month to give the place a face lift. A little elbow grease will make a huge difference.

Cottage style property in central Santa Cruz
Quant, charming, smallish cottage style rooms. Lovely property, convenient location in Santa Cruz. Bathrooms are dated and have seen some wear and tear. Couldn't get the wifi to work and bad cell service. Staff was responsive with requests. No real complaints though.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
An amazing find, clean, cozy and serene. The location was also perfect, near the action but tranquil at night. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to SC.

It was nice, but the fireplace did not work. They did not provide the remote they said would be available😫. Left a phone number to call, but nobody on sight to provide the remote.

The property and the room were beautiful . The loud neighbors upstairs talking and moving around until the wee hours of the morning and the television playing all night did not make for a pleasant stay. Not the experience I was expecting or paying for.

Such a beautiful location! Our room was lovely too. There really is a babbling brook just beyond the deck. There's no place I'd rather stay in Santa Cruz!

It is a great concept. The lack of office support on site is a problematic. Laural st nearby is loud and full of traffic. It over shadows the Brooke.

2/10 Poor

Do not stay here. The rooms look nothing like the pictures. I don’t know how they get away with scamming people like this. The rooms are severely falsely advertised and it seems like robbery with how they trick patrons. I’m surprised this place is open given the poor quality. The rooms are like a rundown motel. Look elsewhere. On positive note staff was nice and open to refunding our money. The staff trying their best but whoever owns this place needs to urgently revamp and renovate the place. And not importantly take off photos of your website!
