The location is so phenomenal. We were planning on staying here so we could go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and hang out in Santa Cruz, but we were so captivated by the nearby trails that we ended up spending our full days hiking. The furthest we drove at any point was 20 minutes--there are so many beautiful outdoor spots in the area that we never felt the need to go further. There is also an incredible ice-cream place about three minutes away which is a huge added bonus.

This is definitely a secluded spot. The interior isn't particularly cozy or "charming," but it is roomy, clean, and comfortable. The sheets are so incredibly soft, the television has Netflix, and it is quiet. It's pretty comparable to a hotel experience, except it offers more privacy at a lower cost, and you can play darts in the main room. I would definitely stay here again.
