We wish we could have stayed longer! Stayed in Sisley and it was great. A little chilly, but the comfortor was good quality. Felt like staying at a nice mom/grandma house...nicely decorated and comfy. Would stay here again if we are in Santa Cruz longer.

The property itself is unique. It is a bit rundown. With some updating it could be really nice. The room smelled musky. The bed was terrible. My husband and I fell into the middle of the bed. Also, the shower was unique and it was challenging how to turn it on.

This place is a very unique place to stay. Very rustic. I liked it a lot. Check in was easy as well as check out. Did not have a mini frig or hair dryer. For some reason, we could not get the fireplace to work. Coffee on the balcony in the morning was nice. Great coffee and Keurig coffeemaker. Bottled water furnished as well as bath soaps and shampoos.

I liked the location and the room was clean and property is very quiet the brook winding through the inn is very nice. The only problem we had was checking out early. Staff doesn't tell you that you can just leave keys in room upon leaving. That would be useful information for anyone staying here.

Martha

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property is unique and very quaint. They used to have a wonderful breakfast and evening drinks. That stopped with Covid sadly. There is no one on site, save for a housekeeper during the day. You have to get your key through a lock box. Property now looks worn and in need of upkeep, with bits of trash about on the grounds. The once beautiful planters are sparse. I hope it can get back to its former state. Santa Cruz is tough for hotels, very expensive and not a lot of quality. The pictures of the rooms are from many years ago. It’s just been neglected.
