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.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
An amazing find, clean, cozy and serene. The location was also perfect, near the action but tranquil at night. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to SC.

Such a beautiful location! Our room was lovely too. There really is a babbling brook just beyond the deck. There's no place I'd rather stay in Santa Cruz!

No employee at reception desk, had to call a phone number and was given a code to a key box with our room key in it. The room floor was tilted due to structual settling of the foundaton.

Liked: Amenities
Unfortunately the stay was unexceptional. We had plumbing issues right away. The parking is very tight. Wouldn’t recommend having large vehicle for this place. The WiFi would not connect and the tv wouldn’t turn on. The rooms were ok for the most part but the bed was very hard. Wouldn’t stay there again.

Cottage style property in central Santa Cruz
Quant, charming, smallish cottage style rooms. Lovely property, convenient location in Santa Cruz. Bathrooms are dated and have seen some wear and tear. Couldn't get the wifi to work and bad cell service. Staff was responsive with requests. No real complaints though.
