10/10 Exceptional

Homely comfortable room

Homely comfortable large family room. In a quirky setting within easy reach of beaches and downtown.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Charming setting and good value

We had an excellent stay there and will visit again. It was a good value considering the other very overpriced hotels in Santa Cruz during high season. There was some road noise from the room but overall, the setting compensated for that aspect.
Sasha, 2-night trip

Very charming Inn and worth a visit!

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.
