    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Lilly is such a friendly and welcoming host! The historic Manson is beautiful inside and out- wood work and stained glass throughout- spotlessly clean and well designed for the comfort of the guests! Coffee tea and ice in the communal living room...

    We started in the ground floor no stairs room and it met our needs for easy access. The room size is small but sufficient for our stay.
