I would highly recommend this hotel to a fellow traveler. I stayed here once and loved it so much the first time I decided to come back. The second time, my flight was late and I called ahead. The front desk said they would leave the key taped to the door. I, being a cynical New Yorker, LOL, was surprised... more

We arrived here after a few days in the wonderful Big Sur and thought Santa Cruz would just be a stop over on our way to Yosemite. It turned out to be our favorite place in California. It was my boyfriend's birthday and upon arrival Tom, the manager whisked me off to the shops to buy cakes, flowers and balloons... more

I had the amazing opportunity to stay at the Babbling Brook Inn while attending a group meeting recently, and I also had the pleasure of staying an additional night. What a great surprise! First, the location was beautiful with a genuine babbling brook just outside my windows. Second, everything for our small group was perfectly handled, with the staff moving... more

We stayed in the Monet room. Overall, the experience was pleasant. The rooms were quaint, nicely decorated and very bright with lots of windows that looked over the gardens. Frommers called the Babbling Brook a tree house which is fitting. The breakfast was above par and the wine tasting was enjoyable. We appreciated the non-alcoholic wine since we don't drink... more

We stayed here Monday and Tuesday nights after our wedding, and could not have been happier. Tom is incredibly thoughtful and courteous and went out of his way to make us comfortable. The rooms were private and very comfortable, the food was delicious, and the wine and cheese "happy hours" cozy and inviting. The lush, secluded (yet convenient) property is... more

We stayed at the Babbling Brook Inn for one night as we travelled down the Pacific Highway. Tom, the manager was really lovely and upgraded us to a larger room when we arrived. The room was large and had the most comfortable bed I had slept on in a long time. All the staff were helpful and even let me... more

The staff were very friendly and happy to offer suggestions and made our stay very pleasant. The room had character, the bed was comfortable and we'll return for the jacuzzi tub - with sky lights - alone! The place is clean, a little worn as some reviewers have said, but in a lived in rather than threadbare way, and there... more

After a horrible night at Best Western All Suites Inn, we found a lovely room for all four of us at this Inn. Although the room, wine & cheese reception, amazing freshly baked cookies and sweet smelling garden were reason enough to enjoy our stay, Tom, the host, made it extra, extra special!! We will soooo be back! more

What a pleasant stay, we really didn't want to leave! Accommodation is in unique wooden lodgings with their own deck which was great for evenings. The beds were ultra comfy and in the morning the staff made breakfast which was excellent and homemade, from the tasty banana pancakes to the quiche. Evenings were greate with a wine and cheese reception... more
