Mixed signals: some guests noted rooms are cleaned, but there are specific hygiene/cleanliness issues reported (explicit 'Hygiëne' complaint, dirty balcony door, towels over carpet after a leak).

Generally friendly and helpful staff in many reports (front desk resolved a leak, owners/staff praised), but several mentions of indifferent or rude staff and lack of action on noise incidents.

Consistently strong positive sentiment: excellent location in the redwoods/Santa Cruz mountains, beautiful scenery, convenient and close to needed attractions; repeatedly cited as a major advantage.

Rooms described as spacious and comfortable with good beds and balconies, but issues include thin walls (noise), some outdated rooms needing updating, and occasional maintenance (leaks).

Limited/variable amenities: popular diner and bar praised, free parking and dog-friendly noted, but breakfast cafe closed, pool inaccessible for some guests, and property closures/repairs reduce amenity value.

Many guests called it good value and inexpensive (especially the diner), and several said they'd stay again — overall perceived as good value despite some shortcomings.

Mixed reviews: some guests loved the retro diner and inexpensive tasty options, while at least one guest strongly disliked their meal; overall inconsistent but a notable feature.

Mostly positive 'hidden gem' sentiment: gorgeous location, friendly staff, and a homey vibe balanced against noise issues and some closed/dated facilities; many guests would return.
