The property is very quaint, very cute. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. The rooms are slightly smaller than the photos make them look, pretty common. The Wi-Fi was unavailable during our entire visit not sure exactly what caused that. There’s no AC in the rooms, but they do provide a fan and it was actually fairly chilly the night that we stayed. Big thumbs up for how quiet it was not a lot of traffic noise not a lot of other guest noise. Bed was very comfortable tub had jets. We didn’t use the fireplace, but it was great that it was there for the really cool nights. The grounds were as advertised all in all this property is great for a short stay. I don’t know that I would choose it for someplace where I was going to be for a week, but not disappointed at all with what I found when I got there .

Our door was ajar when we arrived and the room was dingy at best. Sand from the beach was not vacuumed. Just felt kinda creepy with no one in the office either. Suggest closing for a month to give the place a face lift. A little elbow grease will make a huge difference.

It is a great concept. The lack of office support on site is a problematic. Laural st nearby is loud and full of traffic. It over shadows the Brooke.

Do not stay here. The rooms look nothing like the pictures. I don’t know how they get away with scamming people like this. The rooms are severely falsely advertised and it seems like robbery with how they trick patrons. I’m surprised this place is open given the poor quality. The rooms are like a rundown motel. Look elsewhere. On positive note staff was nice and open to refunding our money. The staff trying their best but whoever owns this place needs to urgently revamp and renovate the place. And not importantly take off photos of your website!

This was the second time we’ve stayed at this property. The property is just okay to stay. It was a little outdated and needed more upkeep but it’s quaint and has a real “home” feel to it. The jet feature in the tub was broken, it was missing a smoke detector, the fireplace was on even though we turned it off, and the water pressure in the shower was very week. I guess if you stay here you have to look passed all of the normal comfort of a “hotel” room and look at it kind of like staying at a family member’s house. The price is right when you just need a place to sleep for a night without feeling like it’s a mortgage payment.

Our room smelled of mildew and the pictures of the room on the website do not match the reality. They've removed all of the things that gave the room charm and painted the whole room white. Also, their is a window facing a busy street that has no window coverings. The beds were terrible and I could barely sleep

The location is convenient. However, the property overall is way past it's prime. The furniture and fixtures in our room were tired, not in good condition, and need to be replaced. It was likely a nice place 25 years ago, but not great now. Overall cleanliness could be better. We found some trash and a personal item left by previous guests in a corner of the room. The windows are so dirty, they must not have been cleaned for years. Another issue was that we could hear every footstep, the television, and muffled voices from the unit immediately above us until almost midnight. The people weren't being especially loud. Thus, the building itself must be poorly built and/or needs to be insulated. Unless you get a fabulous deal, the Inn is not worth the price!

Babbling brook was quiet, close to downtown, just a 15 minute walk. Service was poor to terrible. No one was at the front desk. Room needed some minor repairs, such as smoke alarm and blinds. Otherwise, nice stay.

Would recommend!!!
My stay here at babbling inn hotel was amazing. The most beautiful sights to see just outside the window. Honest and helpful workers who made assistance so much easier. It’s such a cute little room with just enough room for ones comfortably. Honestly this stay was a lot better than a hotel. This felt the closest to a home and even had a much better TV then a hotel if you might be interested in having that luxury. It’s great for the price and definitely will be booking again when I’m out in Santa Cruz. Someone who’s looking for a cheap but amazing hotel should definitely look into this place. 10/10 for sure.
