The room was actually pretty, nice but losing the power on our first night there quickly made the room like a refrigerator. This was not good for my wife. She caught a chill and got very sick. We were packing to leave when the power came back on. But the damage had been done. I spent our entire stay caring for my wife who was too weak to travel. Finally, on the evening of our last night, we packed and left, driving all night home. Management was very reluctant to offer us a full, or even partial refund. I would say that the staff gets a “barely passing” grade. At least they gave us extra blankets and towels, but otherwise they seemed nonchalant about our situation or even that the power was out. Since I couldn’t leave my wife, our only food option was the in-house diner. Mediocre food, expensive, but a very nice staff. I appreciate all they did during our stay. Overall, we will never come back. It was an expensive lesson learned and showed us how quickly vulnerable seniors like us can go from an enjoyable experience to a nightmare….

The best part about this place was the diner. Amazing food. Super friendly service. Has a great variety and ooen until 10pm. Loved it and would return just for that. The front desk staff was hit or miss. Not overtly friendly or helpful. The adjacent bar had pool and games and was fun. I'd be interested to come back when they had events available, but it was the holiday season so it was slower. The rooms were fine enough. Just expect the basics. No frills. Mostly clean....I had a dead fly on my pillow and the sheets had a dirty spot.

Staff person at the desk on 11/8 in the evening was super attentive and welcoming, was doing it all last night. Checked us in quickly and with a friendly demeanor around 8pm, then we saw him later doing sound for the band playing in the bar hall a little later, then bar backing as well. Also had to get something for a room all in the middle of this. The five stars are really for him, and the fun atmosphere of the music. Regrettably I can’t remember his name. Room itself is roomy and quiet, comfortable but needs some paint patching for scuffs and marks on the wall, the shampoo bottle was leaking from the bottom, and the door jam needs either a deep cleaning or replacing, lots of black marks/dirt around bottom of entrance. A little more maiand this would be perfect. Love waking to the redwoods and quiet around property.

The staff at the Office, Restaurant and Bar were exceptionally friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant! This place is pet-friendly, but the out door pet spaces should be improved. The breakfast in the restaurant was so delicious, but NOT free! The restaurant has high quality food and choices! The bar has a wide variety of drinks and music on the week ends.

The patio view was nice and bed was comfortable but the carpet was stained. Convenient location to the Felton Hall and the State Park. However, I didn't sleep very much as there was a person underneath me with the tv on loud, very loud till about 5 am, then I was able to sleet about 3 hours! There was no one at the office and the sign for emergencies was so small that I missed when I went downstairs at 2 am. The sign was pointed out to me the next morning when I went to check out and told them of the awful noise. I am an older disable woman, so it was a little difficult in the middle of the night. Otherwise, I would stay there again, hoping it was quieter and have the emergency number on hand. Thank you

Room smelled of mold and alcohol from previous guests evening party. Were unable to check in until 30-60 minutes after check in because of previous night party in hotel bar and late checkouts. The girl room was not clean and bathroom was not restocked with enough towels. Rooms not well maintained.

My only issue with the room was the jet tub that didn't work. Not working was the smallest issue however. I'm a 61 yr old woman with spinal issues and had to have my husbands assistants in and out of shower because there are no grab bars and there are no slip resistance stickers in bottom of tub. Small issue on an otherwise great anniversary weekend!

Adequate lodging, but not a restful sleep

Zero sound proofing it would seem (between floors and between rooms), as it sounded like a herd of goats were clogging above me all hours of the night. The holes in window screens allowed some bugs in, and generally, despite recent renovations, it's already a tired property, that only has glimmers of its "hey-day" -- but the price was fair and there aren't many other better lodging offerings in this stretch of the Santa Cruz mountains. So, overall, a bearable stay, but could have lived without a drunk knocking on my room door by mistake at 11pm. Oh well.
