It's very difficult to find a place where we can stay with our two adult children and all be comfortable. I was so excited to see that they had a room with 2 queen beds. It is the Contessa room, and yes, it is close to the street, but we always travel with a white noise machine for sleeping, so... More

My boyfriend and I spent Valentine's weekend in Santa Cruz, and decided to stay at the Babbling Brook. What a lovely place! It's like a hidden forest retreat in the middle of town. Our room was cozy and romantic. There was even a fireplace that warmed the room nicely. The staff is professional and friendly. We're planning to make this... More

My college-age daughter and I spent a long weekend at the Babbling Brook Inn in late March. Great location: woodsy setting within walking distance of downtown, yet easy access to 101. Breakfast generous and tasty; evening wine and snacks a special treat, especially outside on one of the many decks. We had the Contessa Room, which has 2 beds, which... More

My husband and I went for our one year anniversary, we couldn't have picked a better place! It was so romantic and great location!!I would renew our vows there that's how beautiful it is in person!I'd go back every time I go to Santa Cruz!!! :-)

We were traveling the Pacific Hwy on our 10 year wedding anniversary and we started in San Francisco with no plans, 9 days and a flight out of LA. We decided to stop in Santa Cruz for 1 night. We stayed at the Babbling Brook Inn- hotel selection is fairly limited in Santa Cruz. Cheese & wine reception nice, staff... More

My husband and I came here so I could run the Santa Cruz 1/2 Marathon. We loved that the Inn was a 15 minute walk down to the boardwalk, and not right in the craziness. The beds were so comfortable, and the brook "babbled" us to sleep both nights. The snacks and wine in the evening were great. The staff... More

The Babbling Brook Inn is conveniently located close to downtown Santa Cruz and to the boardwalk. Drawback: the street it's on is very busy, even at night, and traffic can be disturbing for those light sleepers looking for calm.. Otherwise, the Inn has a very nice setting, the rooms -most of them looking more like small cabins- immaculate and cozy... More

What a beautiful place! We spent 4 days at the Babbling Brook inn and we just loved it! It was our 2nd visit to the area, we were attending the Concours d’elegance at Pebble Beach. We booked 2 rooms, the Degas, upstairs and the Pisarro, downstairs. Both were absolutely charming, even better than what we expected after seeing pictures on... More

Really nice and friendly place to stay. Very accomodating and helpful. Nice to have a wine and cheese reception late afternoon. Tom is terrific. You are tucked away and yet walkable to everything. I travelled with my daughter and we both loved it. She's still talking about it almost a year later and she's only 9!
