I liked the location and the room was clean and property is very quiet the brook winding through the inn is very nice. The only problem we had was checking out early. Staff doesn't tell you that you can just leave keys in room upon leaving. That would be useful information for anyone staying here.

The property is unique and very quaint. They used to have a wonderful breakfast and evening drinks. That stopped with Covid sadly. There is no one on site, save for a housekeeper during the day. You have to get your key through a lock box. Property now looks worn and in need of upkeep, with bits of trash about on the grounds. The once beautiful planters are sparse. I hope it can get back to its former state. Santa Cruz is tough for hotels, very expensive and not a lot of quality. The pictures of the rooms are from many years ago. It’s just been neglected.

I sat and waited for the receptionist to answer the phone so I could check in. Office door locked. Note on the office door said call “Colleen”. She didn’t respond after 3 calls and a text. I never saw a staff member the entire time after waiting 30 minutes to check in- I was already running late after a full day of travel to get to a graduation party. . She called me on my cell phone and said oh I’m sorry I was talking on the other phone. She gave be me the code to find my key and verbally walked me past an overflowing disgusting large dumpster with poopy baby diapers all over and rats and flies. Room was fine. Service was terrible.

Pros: close to everything, nice gardens with wood bungalows Cons: dingy old bathrooms, toilet in our bathroom was nearly broken (clanked when you sat on it), no true blackout capability - light comes in everywhere, stupid “feature” in which bathroom light comes on when you enter room, sound from other rooms is awful - you can hear everything, pilot light always on in fireplace so slightly warm regardless of what you want, pillows are hard and bed creaky. No minifridge. It seems like they set up this properly in 1979 and haven’t updated it since. Not sure how they got the great photos but this is not worth what we paid AT ALL. couldn’t wait to leave.

Everything at the babbling brook inn was amazing my only complaint is that the door that leads to the rooms was very hard to open. It was very hard to get the key in and out of the key hole.
