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.

Stay one night at Sisley (RM 108)…I like the garden set-up and my in-room balcony to enjoy that garden.

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!

The house cleaning staff seem to be the only people who care about you and the facility. The cleaning staff get 5 stars for their services Thanks you Cleaning staff

8/10 Very good

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.

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately the stay was unexceptional. We had plumbing issues right away. The parking is very tight. Wouldn’t recommend having large vehicle for this place. The WiFi would not connect and the tv wouldn’t turn on. The rooms were ok for the most part but the bed was very hard. Wouldn’t stay there again.

I was very happy with my stay. Beautiful grounds. Quiet and relaxing stay. I will definitely be returning.

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.

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.

It was a rather relaxing stay, the pictures make it look bigger than what it is in the rooms, but the elegance make up for it.
