The inn was clean and comfortable. It is on a busy street but we were not bothered by the noise. The breakfast was basic but satisfying. The rooms were comfortable to stay in. This inn is on the north end of Santa Cruz close to Natural Bridges State Park.

There were ants in my room. Staff was great and gave us another room. However, that room had a used rag on the floor of the shower. So, I won’t be staying there again,

Danny at the front desk was very accommodating. Not a bad little no-frills property. Good for a quick crash.

Staying at a historically famous house was the highlight of our trip. The owners were wonderful and gracious hosts and did everything possible to make our stay as well as possible. We would definitely stay here again.

How can I find deals on Santa Cruz gay-friendly hotels?

Of course, booking a short distance away from prominent attractions can be an easy way to save while still being close to public transport routes that can get you to the action easily. Just keep in mind that these are general trends rather than solid rules, as prices fluctuate all the time and can be difficult to predict.
