Babbling Brook Inn

I stayed here last week and it was so beautiful all the plants and the trees the beautiful stream running right under this cute little bridge it looked like something out of a fairy tale! When I first arrived no one was in the office but myke was super helpful and extremely polite he led us to our room and said to call if we needed anything! The room was so cute and I loved the fireplace it warmed us up so quickly. The shower gets so hot I felt extreme replenishment. It's such a cute inn made me feel like I want to spend my vacation here every year! Round of applause for The babbling Brooke and standing ovation for Myke!

DO NOT GO HERE! Save yourself the headache, this place is nasty. If I could rate zero stars, I would. First, the photos online DO NOT match what the hotel looks like. There’s no pretty furniture, picture frames, no breakfast. Their website is a lie. Management is terrible, unprofessional, looks like they could be homeless or drug addicts, smoking cigarettes right in front of the office door. I stayed here last week and no one was in the office almost the whole time, the bath tub was visibly dirty but I couldn’t get ahold of anyone from the office so I didn’t get to use the tub. Way too expensive for this rundown place.

We stayed as a couple in April 2025 for 2 nights.||When reading the reviews we was a bit worried especially about the check in policy so we contacted the Babbling Brook. They sent through instructions prior to our stay about how to pick up the keys which was very straight forward )using a lock box and code with instructions where to find your room).||The setting is really lovely with an actual brook. Our room had the option to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.||Location wise is great - only a 15 minute walk to the Boardwalk and you pass 2 shops on the way (a 5 min walk from the Babbling Brook).||The room was a bit cold so we had the heater on and that was due to the overcast days we had.||The bed was really comfy! The rooms are functional. ||Only criticism I’d have is the s

My wife and I enjoyed the great view from our balcony and windows. The jacuzzi tub in our room was a nice bonus and of course being only a short 5 minute drive from the wharf and beaches was very convenient. We can’t wait to come back soon and do it again. The staff were great!

Just 5-7 minutes from beautiful beaches, downtown and, the Santa Cruz boardwalk. We woke up to a beautiful view drinking our coffee on the balcony while enjoying the view of a creek with redwood trees and a red shouldered hawk resting on a tree branch. We are heading back soon with our daughter. Thank you Careen for such great service.
