I love staying here. The mansion is gorgeous, the rooms are cute and the staff is wonderful. Makes for a very comfortable stay. It does get a little loud (traffic- walking and vehicles), but nothing earplugs wouldn’t help if you’re sensitive to it.

Very comfortable hotel, not your typical hotel which makes it nice to avoid the large generic corporate hotels

I spent a lot of time reviewing the various pics of the rooms here on line as I wanted the best room available for our Anniversary stay. Settled upon a great room with lots of character on the 3rd floor and made the reservation. Arrived at the property to check in and was given a room on the ground floor near the entrance to the hotel. The room didn't meet our expectations and when I told the clerk this was not the room I had reserved she said that our reserved room had already been given to another customer. As the conversation progressed she seemed very put-off that I was upset and acted like it was my fault though they were the ones that had given our room away. When asked if we could speak with a manager she said no one was available. When asked if we could see another room she said the only one available was in the house next door which is ok but clearly lacks the character of the main house which is where we wanted to stay. We reluctantly took the second "quieter" option which was just ok with the exception of a horrible mattress and the loudest creaking bed that woke us up repeatedly every time one of us moved (Room #14). As we unloaded our car - the front office gal was in the parking lot clearly talking to the manager or owner explaining our situation as well as another unhappy guest... very annoying as this literally occurred 10 min. after we had asked to speak to a manager. Very disappointing experience, would not recommend and will never stay here again.

It was a great location with very friendly and easy to find staff. Clean room and very nice sheets on the bed. The bed itself, however, needs to be replaced. It was almost collapsed in the middle and any spring had been work away. Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend the hotel - cozy and quiet.

Central location between downtown Santa Cruz and the boardwalk. Cool Victorian home that was converted and really friendly staff that was able to help us resolve a lockout issue after hours. Only downside was we had a noisy seagull outside our window, but not the property's fault!

Rio Vista Inn reminded me of staying at an Air B&B but not quite the same. We enjoyed it for what it was and the price was reasonable. My only real complaint was that the Air Con unit was not the best. It was taped to a hole that led straight outside and kept falling off. The gentleman that checked us in gave us a nice tour of the property. Lots of history there.
