Stayed here just once and I have to say that I really enjoyed the beautiful location. This is a special area to me since I grew up nearby, but I have to say that this hotel has a) great staff, b) great rooms, c) and a nice weekend getaway. It's definitely a "motel" so don't expect too much, but do... More

We stayed here in September and it was quiet, pleasant, and clean. The continental breakfast is very generous with cereal, muffins, bagels, pastries, coffee, juice - you name it, very nice presentation. Rooms were also clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. We would definitely stay here again. Some people are not fair in their reviews, this is a Quality... More

Location is great, ~10-15 minutes from Santa Cruz and away from perpetual costal overcast. Beyond the location we were not pleased overall. We could hear outside noise at night easily but found we could drown it out by running the fan/cooler, which worked fine for us. Pool water looked green from afar but found to be clean just in need... More

Nice hotel redwoods growing on property, walking distance to restaurants & the supermarket. State parks nearby with beautiful hiking trails More

Ladies on reception friendly and helpful. Room was clean and bright. Santa Cruz about 10 miles away. Redwoods forest about 5 miles Local supermarket had good supplies and a hot/cold food/meal service for take away. Local Italian restaurant had a.... dress back to front evening and do whatever you like! So we gave that a miss. We got some food... More

We stayed at this motel after initially being booked into a different one in the same area (upon site inspection of the other one, decided that we couldn't stay) - what a good decision that was. We stayed 3 nights to be close to a family member living in Boulder Creek. The room was comfortable (albeit slightly small for the... More

This was our second time staying at this hotel/motel, the first time was a couple of years ago when it was an Econolodge. We don't usually stay at budget hotels, but given the limited options in the area, this seemed like our best bet and, although we were expecting the worst, we were pleasantly surprised the first time we stayed...

We were in Ben Lomond visiting friends and, instead of staying with them as planned, we decided to get a room, so we were a walk-in. They did have vacancies, but charged us $260 for one night! What a rip-off. This property is basically a remodeled 2-story motel. Typically, in our experience, a walk-in develops a better rate, but the... More

We stayed for four days. On the second day a large number of construction workers arrived. They woke up at 5:30am and at 6:30 they wiped out the breakfast food supply. At 4pm daily they came back to the motel, drank lots of beer, gathered in groups outside their rooms, and were very loud and annoying. The manager did nothing... More
