Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Vinhais Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was extremely clean and the staff very friendly. Breakfast was awesome and delicious. There’s plenty of parking. I just want to add that this hotel has an old time vibe. This is one of those hotels that inspires time travel into the past in a good way. The room has this quaint kind of antique furniture that makes it look like an hotel in the 1960s and 70s. There’s a real key to the room, a receptionist, and a record player and vinyl records in the lobby as well as other vintage items such as a travel bag from the 1960s. There are cute little compartments for each room just like old times! They also have a selection of books to read or to look at pictures. It was really a fenomenal experience!"
