Room was not well insulated from the hallway or the upstairs traffic we heard in our room downstairs. When we walked to the boardwalk, we passed some sketchy folks staying in apartments down the street, and took a Lyft home to avoid night-time interactions with those locals. The Inn hostess was delightful and very helpful. The location was otherwise very nice and there was plenty of parking.

The location is amazing - a quick walk to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and Pier. The house is a beautifully restored mansion, and is very clean. We stayed in one of the attic rooms. It seemed like they invested a lot of money and effort into the building itself, but skimped on the furnishings. The bed was very uncomfortable and the vent for the air conditioning unit was taped to a hole in the wall. (Thankfully there was air conditioning, as it got pretty hot in the attic). The shades on the windows were broken as well. It’s such a beautiful building. I hope they’ll upgrade the furniture, etc!
