Every room features private en-suite bathrooms, free Wifi, TV with DVD, CD player, iPod speakers, and most important...the most comfortable beds anywhere. Our guests call us a boutique hotel. They love our simple elegance and attention to detail. The Adobe is not a typical Victorian B&B. Our Bed and Breakfast is comfortable, simple, relaxed and down to earth. -
- Location. If you're planning a visit to Santa Cruz, make sure to choose lodging that is in town, not far from restaurants, shops and cafes. The Adobe is three blocks from downtown. WalkScore.com rates the Adobe a "Walker's Paradise" with a score of 97 out of 100, the highest rating of any hotel, motel, inn or B&B in Santa Cruz.
- Quiet Rooms. A persistent problem for small inns and hotels is thin walls. Even new facilities don't often address this concern. Most walls at the Adobe are 17 inch thick and our bedrooms don't share a common wall with one another. Being located on a half acre property in a residential district, road noise is never a complaint.
- Comfort. Up to half of your time spent at the Adobe will be in bed. That's why every room features hand-made natural latex pillow-top beds. Spend one night in these beds and you won't want to leave. We also use high thread count cotton linens and blankets. We don't sleep on polyester, why should you?
- Cleanliness. We spend a lot of time at the Adobe working on maintenance and thorough cleaning. We show our respect to you by making sure your room is clean and perfectly prepared.
- Beauty. Of course, we're a little biased, but the Adobe and its setting are beautiful, simple, elegant, clean and tasteful. Surrounded by gardens, the views out every window are lovely. Many of our guests call the Adobe romantic.
- Privacy & Flexibility. We're not the kind of place where the innkeeper hovers over you and observes your every move. We respect your privacy and allow you to have your independence. This is what we prefer when we travel and we have made it a priority here.
- Free wifi, Free Off-Street Parking & Plugs. We always have a free wifi and off-street parking. Places to plug in is a pet peeve of ours when we travel. Most hotels are stingy with their electric outlets. Where are we supposed to plug in our phone, camera, iPod, and iPad? At the Adobe we guarantee six accessible plugs in each room.
- Sustainability. We are all learning to use resources more wisely. Seventy five percent of our electric power is generated with solar panels on our roof. Our solar system avoids putting 6 tons of carbon dioxide into the air every year. We also use those panels to power our electric vehicle charging station. We make our own natural cleaning solution and use it throughout the inn.
- No Minimum Stay. Come for one night if you wish. There is never a minimum stay at the Adobe ever. Even during holidays.
- Affordable Rates and Good Value. You'll find our rates are about 30% below other quality inns in the area. Our great location makes us popular with business travelers midweek so we don't have to charge as much as others on the weekend.

Advice and Inspiration from Santa Cruz Insiders.
Santa Cruz California is a wonderful community known worldwide for its beaches, surfing, liberal politics, amusement park and its university. What isn't widely known is that Santa Cruz is one the most beautiful and interesting small cities in the United States.
Our climate (especially in winter) is one of the best. The Pacific Ocean, redwood forests, rivers, hills, meadows and farmlands provide scenic beauty and hiking just minutes from downtown.
