We had a very large room (7) with huge closet and bathroom. Very comfortable bed and pillows, in room coffee maker, TV with DVD player which was great since we had our own to watch. It is on a somewhat busy street but we turned on the air conditioner and closed the windows and it was plenty quiet. Staff was... More

We were meeting up with a friend for a night in Santa Cruz. We needed a pleasant, relatively quiet hotel room. Bella Notte was great. The room was very nice, on par with a 3-4 star hotel (think Hilton). The bed was comfortable with very nice sheets (600 count), down pillows, a comforter with a duvet, etc. The bathroom was... More

Locally owned and run, the Belle Notte is one of my favorite places to stay in one of my favorite towns. Located in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to enjoy everything. Just a couple of blocks walk to the beach. More

So long as a quarter of Americans are clinically obese, it's a really, really bad idea to stay on the ground floor of this place. The floors of the room above were tiled and had absolutely zero soundproofing. The residents decided to walk around all night. Resulting soundin my room: like a herd of elephants. It's a shame because otherwise... More
