United States“It was a perfect location to the boardwalk and the pier for parking and walking. The room was great” - Luis United States“We got to Rio Vista early. Staff allowed us to park on site so we could walk around and explore Santa Cruz. Very accommodating.”
- Layla United States“Everything was great, lovely staff, are was close to everything to talk 5 mins but far enough to not hear the boardwalk bustle. Charming vintage and lovely rooms at a surprising good size.”
- Hector United States“They upgraded us to a bigger room at no extra cost”
- Barbara United States“Charming renovated Victorian! Close walk to the wharf, beach, boardwalk and lots of restaurants. Lilly at the front desk was very gracious and even helped carry my bag upstairs. My view of the San Lorenzo River was very nice”
- Aesikie United States“The room and atmosphere was awesome. Everything was neat, clean and luxurious. I like the security it had as well as the privacy. It was nice that you could set the sign on your door to do not disturb or welcome, please knock.”
- Kermit United States“Owner manager was amazing and was there to ensure you have the best stay possible.”
