This is a nice getaway spot. There is plenty ofareas outside for hanging out and the bar/lounge is convenient. There was a live salsa band there so that was a fun surprise. The room was nice and clean. I would go back.

Hoping you are able to build up business after remodeling to restore this wonderful scene. I came often thirty years ago. I miss the dining room and hope that you can make this a full resort again. I see you are having music every weekend, that definitely helps! Enjoyed El Sol the other night, and there is a huge contingent of Salsa dancers in Santa Cruz. Loved the spa tub.

The only hope was the middle age gentle man who was always there to help and serve. The rest of experience was very poor. We won’t go back but good luck to that dude.

Reasonable place to stay near Boulder Creek, was there in January with a good price. Room was spacious and clean. Bathtub did not drain well. Staff were a bit unenthused but, hey, I get that, it was a cold, long winter night in what seemed like the off season.

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 room was large but there was no table or sofa. Our room was on the second floor and there was no elevator so to get to our room there was 4 flights of stairs. Other than that it was quiet and relaxing. The bar was good and the live music fun.
