Rich in history and natural beauty

The history alone is enought to check this place out. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed was super comfortable. Very peaceful. The area is so beautiful and refreshing. My only complaint is that the coffee in the room was terrible, and that only mattered because there is no where to walk and buy your own. I can't wait to come back. I was assured that the great hall is under restoration, but that obtaining permits and making it happen is a slow process. I love places that have rich history. Im very glad that after the 2020, fire its open again to experience that history.

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.

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.

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.

Big comfy rooms

The rooms were big and the beds very comfortable. The hotel had live music from 7-10pm. The man checking us in wasn't having any of our friendliness, but the checkin itself went quickly.
