Monte Sereno Vacation Rentals

"The room was top notch. We requested a 5th floor room which was very quiet. The restaurant was okay. Heated pool looked nice but we didn't use it. I didn't expect to have to pay for parking though. There is plenty of area for parking."

"The room was clean and the front desk was friendly and efficient. We arrived late at night and requested an extra toothbrush. We also got wine glasses for the bottle of wine given to us. The AC was very noisy and the walls were porous. Noise travels easily from the outside."

"Don’t recommend breakfast, stay was fine "

"Nice!"

"Great location for events at Stanford. Super helpful staff and great amenities. However, I gave an overall 4 rating because: Parking was sometimes difficult to find because we needed handicap access—and it’s $20 a night extra. Not enough charging stations for electric vehicles. There was only one elevator working our entire 4 night stay. With athletes from different teams staying here as well, getting an elevator was nearly impossible without a 10-15 minute wait. I would think it was important enough to get someone in to fix it in a more timely manner. "

"Polite and nice staff. Place is outdated and Wi-Fi was terrible with code provided. "

"Yes"

"Was floating around the Monterey Bay area and landed in Santa Cruz after a day of traveling. Booked here on impulse and it was fine value for the price. Staff was friendly and the location is solid - just a couple blocks off of the beach with street parking in the vicinity. Very safe feeling neighborhood. Some portions of the street are restricted to permit parking - so check carefully. They do offer onsite parking, but I opted to pay the meter during operating hours and saved ten bucks. Facility was clean and the breakfast was way above par here! Appreciated leaving on a full stomach and ready for another day of hiking. Some of the other guests were on the loud side of things - and this must be a perennial issue as we observed an 8.5 x 11 memo in the entry warning guests of nuisance noise charges potentially up to $150. A bit annoying since this night was a rest night on our trip. There's also a nuisance technology issue - iPhone can not connect to the TVs if you want to stream some form of entertainment, unless you travel with some sort of HDMI dongle, count on sitting with some basic cable option for entertainment. Rooms are sort of sparsely decorated but at least they have ample space, and it doesn't feel claustrophobic. All in all, a fairly average experience here. If I could do it over, I'd probably just spend the extra forty or fifty bucks to book at the La Bahia or Marea Sol hotels on the main drag. "

"Clean room, friendly staff and easy parking"
