Mountain Lodge Estate, hotel in Los Gatos

Mountain Lodge Estate in Los Gatos provides adults-only accommodations with a garden and barbecue facilities. There's a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay.

The location was wonderful and so was our first day. The spa was wonderful! The second day was horrible. My husband and I left early in the morning to go hiking and brought lunch back to eat on our patio. We listened to blowing and mowing from 1:30 - 6:30 instead of the birds and the breeze.

    The lady owner was very kind and service minded. We were upgraded to a bigger room. The room was lovely with two big beds and a little kitchen where we could make our own breakfast. It was a little bit cold in the room. However it was a perfect temperature for us to sleep. She gave to us good instructions how to go and see the best places in Santa Cruz. Her dog was really cute and friendly. This was the first motel/hotel during our three weeks vacation where you could recycle and separate bio waste. I could come to this place again.

    Excellent kitchenette with faucet/large sink and countertop. Room #101 is small and cozy, with hard floor. It is tucked away in the back of the property with no neighbors' doors adjacent, which made it less exposed to noise. Towels and toiletries are well provided. Daily housekeeping offered. This was my third booking here, and I thoroughly enjoyed every one.

    this place was phenomenal for my work trip to Santa Cruz. The location was great, I didn't have any trouble finding parking on the street (in November) and it was an incredibly comfortable place to be based. the kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, knives, etc... and even had a dishwasher! It also had a very large sink, which was lovely.
