The home was nicely renovated, neat and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was quite comfortable. The location was ideal, and neighborhood quiet with the river near by.
We were surprised to find out that the photo of breakfast offered is incorrect. Coffee and tea are the only things offered, the photo on Expedia shows pastries and fruit. We were told that was no longer offered.

Clean. Comfortable, but not all the rooms are the same because it is a mansion. I stayed in three rooms over 12 days. First room was small but had a nice balcony overlooking the river. The shower was tile and enclosed. Second room for a week was large and had a tub with jets and a small sofa, but also an impractical but attractive sink. Not enough towel racks. And there was room for a desk in this room but there wasn't one. All rooms had microwaves, minifridges and wardrobes with nice white bathrobes. Third room was very small. Shower did not have a door. It was noisier and at the front of the house. Same rain shower head as the others. Concierges were nice. Limited in person desk but you could call. They responded. Garbage cans were small if you are buying your own food for a time. There was bottled water available. Towels were very white, nicely folded and rough texture, as I like them. One night it sounded like construction above me.This is an old mansion with hardwood floors that creak and you should know that if you are upstairs tossing off your shoes. Upper floors are not really for older people or people who have balance or walking issues. There is no elevator. Lost my makeup. The lovely grand staircase is long with a landing, flight of stairs, and another flight of stairs past an original stained glass window. If you want something other than a cookie cutter hotel you might like RVS. Reasonable price, too. I liked it.

We had to wait quite a bit of time upon checking for someone to arrive to let us in as well as a few other people then later in the evening, our room lost power to half of the room. And we had no heat, we alerted the staff and they fixed it only to have it happen again. A half an hour later, not sure.I will spend the money to stay at this facility next time..

1st night there car was broken into backpack stolen in a 20 minute window, my fault for leaving something in the car but to be there for 20 mins and already get stolen from not a great sign. Good thing the first thing they made me sign was a waiver to NOT hold them responsible for such a transgression. House was from 1890, but I’m pretty sure they kept the original mattress as it was as stiff as a board. Refrigerator did not work in room, TV required me to play tech support to get it unfrozen and usable, while navigating multiple remotes that had stuck keys. Shower is poorly designed, and requires you to open windows in the room in order to avoid the steam triggering the fire alarm and waking the whole house up, with the towel holder as far as possible AWAY from the door. Not to mention the sink has no room to place your things aside from a thin strip by the faucet. Forget staying in the room with another person because one side of the bed doesn’t have a nightstand. Front attendant was nice and the building did offer free drinks and coffee, and the outside patio area would be quite nice if the weather permitted

Rio Vista is the cutest little Victorian house turned B&B located super conveniently between the river walk and the beach/boardwalk. As a solo female traveler, I felt a little nervous walking around the neighborhoods directly around it at night, but overall I felt super comfy and at home there, and loved the room so much I added on an extra night to my stay! Really appreciated how close it was to everything I needed, from shopping and restaurants to nature, the beach, and all the activities I was looking to do. The staff was lovely and very accommodating, and I really enjoyed my stay here!

Great property and location in Santa Cruz

From the moment we checked in until the day we left, the owner, Ela, was fantastic. She was very attentive to our needs and accommodated us in any way she could. She made check in easy and gave us the lay of the land. The house is beautifully restored and the location is walking distance to the beach and downtown. If you want an experience opposite from something large and corporate, this is the place to stay.

I love the location and quaint size of this historic home/hotel. It’s perfect for a single traveler desiring proximity to attractions yet solitude in the quaint quarters of this Victorian brought back to life. No children or animals are allowed so this is a very quiet spot . Thank you to everyone who contributed to making it available for the public . It would be good to have some plain cream option for the coffee /tea station for those who don’t like sweets as all the creamers were flavored and sweet. I was very grateful to see the open station that could be accessed at any hour ,thank you so much.

This place is beautiful. It has the river in the front and the boardwalk from the back.

Our room was tiny but super clean with a fireplace and private balcony. We also had a peekaboo ocean view and a view of the boardwalk rides.

Lily was wonderful and friendly. We enjoyed sipping coffee while sitting at the front porch.

The only compliant is that there is a huge sign in the front yard that obstructs some of the river view.

Avoid this place at all costs!

Our review is based on the fact that we could NOT stay at this hotel, despite having a valid reservation. When we arrived to check in at 5pm, no one was at the desk - we were provided with a phone number to call to get assistance. That's annoying, but okay. After we called the employee to the desk, she cheerfully informed us that the hotel had double-booked our room and it was occupied, with no other vacancies at the hotel. No apology, no apparent concern for our being stranded in another city on a Friday night with no place to go. She then told us that we should call their other hotel to see if they had vacancy - she did not offer to call for us. I cannot stress how little she cared about her hotel's mistake, as if we were lucky just to have been considered as guests. This was, hands down, the single worst customer service experience I have ever had at a hotel. P.S. We did NOT call the other hotel but found another spot on this website, which fortunately worked out.

This is a place with real “character” – an old Victorian that retains much of its original grandeur but updated with good lighting, digital locks, modern bathroom fixtures, wi-fi, and other conveniences. The bed was comfortable, and the room was very quiet. Special thanks to the proprieter who made a heroic effort to track us down after we had checked out to tell us we had accidentally dropped an object of value in the parking lot as we were packing up the car. We had only driven as far as Davenport (10 miles) for breakfast, so we were lucky to get the call when it was easy to return back to the inn.

I booked the Rio Vista Suites for a last minute trip in the area and very glad it was available. Lily is an incredible host and makes sure you’re set perfectly for your stay. I loved the attic room - it was the perfect size for 1-2 people, very comfortable and had lovely views. Would definitely recommend

A+cleanliness, location, great staff

Very clean, great staff. Nice coffee/tea/water/soda bar. Could use softer towels and warmer bedding, we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the wall fireplace/heater. Great location, we enjoyed reading the history of the property and the parts of the original home that was preserved in the renovation.

This was a very attractive guest house. However, it was freezing inside . There was a heater to heat up the bathroom, but I could never get the bathroom warm enough to take a shower. It took me a while to realize that the gas fireplace in the bedroom, would heat that room. But I spent a lot of my stay shivering.

My room was slightly smaller than I imagined, but I've never stayed in an old Victorian, so I had nothing to compare it to. I loved the restoration work done. (Built in 1890). It's a beautiful hotel. Though not listed among amenities, I was very happy to find my room had a mini fridge and microwave. It also had a lovely fireplace, which came in handy, as Santa Cruz can get chilly in the evening. (It is January, after all.)

Lilly was exceptionally helpful and attended to all details, both checking in and out. I really appreciated her going the extra mile to make sure that I was happy with my stay. I look forward to booking here again. 😊

When we arrived at our room we were greeted with the overwhelming smell of ammonia cleanser. We hoped it would dissipate but our one of two nights scheduled stay was miserable. When we called to cancel our second night's stay at 8:30 am the next morning, we were told by the desk person that she would call us back in 10 minutes. Three hours later we called her to confirm a cancellation and refund which was the minimum we could expect although no effort was made to find us an alternative room. Additionally, the back entrance to on site parking is woefully narrow and risks car damage on entry and exit. We would not stay here ever again.

It is located along the riverwalk area, beautiful view from room. Checkin easy and we were given option of another room due to construction noise near original room. Much appreciated. We went to a Warriors game which was within walking distance. Boardwalk is also within walking distance. Only issue was we could not find remote to fireplace or any indication of how else to operate it. Room was a little chilly. Would definitely stay again.

Very cute property. We had a nice view of the river from our room, lots of windows and sunlight so was very bright and welcoming. Within walking distance to the boardwalk! We had a good time in Santa Cruz, and this place has a lot of charm. The room we chose had a nice spacious bathroom with separated tub and shower which was a plus for my husband and I to wash up at same time (he likes his baths!). Thank you for a great stay. :)

P.S. be sure to bring a working cell phone, the staff was often away from her desk while we were there, but she's very easy to get a hold of via phone call and will come back within minutes after contacting her, there will be a sign with her contact number on the desk.
