Nestled against the giant redwood trees, and a castle in view, this hotel ambiance was totally enchanting. One of the most quiet places we've stayed with a very nice room, closet to hang clothes, iron, ironing board, micro, refrigerator. What more could we ask for? The staff are genuinely kind and go out of their way to help you. Very convenient to Hwy 1 and other towns. We liked being not downtown with heavier traffic, but close enough (approx. 25 minutes) to the Santa Cruz Wharf and boardwalk. We will be back to stay!! Love this place
