Great spot near the Catalyst
Calvin did a great job of setting us up for our arrival and communicated well. The heater is a fireplace that took some work figuring out how to keep on while turning off the flames. There is a nice little patio with fire pit area for guests to enjoy. Super convenient if seeing a show at the Catalyst.

Surprise charges
I stayed here three times before learning that they add charges. Only $15 so I almost didn't notice that they charged me for parking that I did not use, and then charged me twice for taxes when I had already paid through hotel.com.

This was such a cute boutique hotel at a great location. Walkable to restaurants, the wharf and the boardwalk. They had a great little courtyard with fire pits. Coffee and muffins available all day. Bed was very very comfortable. Would absolutely stay here again

Beds were comfy and rooms were spacious. There was easy access to both sides of street, one of which had a coffee and breakfast food place not even 1 minute away from inn. Grounds and layout were very nice. Walk in shower was very nice. Will be back to this property again in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The secluded, lovely courtyard, welcoming coffee and delicious brownies in the common area when we arrive, the upbeat, interesting, extremely helpful owner/office person made our stay 1000x better than expected. We would return should we pass through Santa Cruz again.
