Babbling Brook Inn

My stay here at babbling inn hotel was amazing. The most beautiful sights to see just outside the window. Honest and helpful workers who made assistance so much easier. It’s such a cute little room with just enough room for ones comfortably. Honestly this stay was a lot better than a hotel. This felt the closest to a home and even had a much better TV then a hotel if you might be interested in having that luxury. It’s great for the price and definitely will be booking again when I’m out in Santa Cruz. Someone who’s looking for a cheap but amazing hotel should definitely look into this place. 10/10 for sure.

We really WANTED to LOVE this place, it has such "good bones" but alas has been neglected for way too long. For instance there are indications of multiple generations of window coverings (mounting holes, mismatched paint etc). We saw many such examples that could be remedied in less than a day by a handy man in each unit. Such a cute property, but in need of TLC.

Pretty locations with cute rooms, would stay here again!

Seeing the photos I expected a lot more than what I got. The staff was friendly and helpful but we had to switch rooms because no outlets were working in the first room, and in the second room it was smaller and the bed was not comfortable.

We’ve stayed here many times in the past several years. I knew the place was under new ownership and no longer offering breakfast and wine and cheese hour, but the place is as adorable and comfy as ever. The new owners are very accommodating with Keurig coffee maker in the room, excellent towels and nice linens. We stayed in the Artists Retreat and it was a dream.

Manuel was awesome and greeted us as soon as we parked, offered to help with bags, a d made sure we had what we needed. The property is so gorgeous and serene. Im definitely going back when I am in town.

This was really a very bad experience. I was traveling with my daughter. When we arrived, our room door was open. Not unlocked, open. I checked the room before bringing my daughter in, and discovered that the sliding door for the patio doesn’t lock. Super! We then went down to get our things from the car and we encountered an employee that let us know he knew which room we were in and interacted with my daughter in a way that made me uncomfortable. Literally 10 minutes later, the parking lot was full of police cars with full lights and sirens. Five of them. Half the officers ran up the front stairs, half up the back. A short time later they were removing this employee in handcuffs while discussing for all to hear the circumstances of his arrest. No one from the Inn said a word to any guests or offer any explanation or apologies. I was willing to overlook the obvious state of disrepair that the Inn was in, but this was too much. Open doors, broken locks, sideways stairs, felons for employees. Do yourself a favor and Stay literally anywhere else.

Great! Just wish the office was open while we were there. And that there wasn’t so much highway noise.

The pictures are very different from what the actual room is like. They are not any where near as nice as the pictures. I would not recomend.
