Comfortable Stay
The room was clean, spacious and cosy. The bathroom was spacious as well. We enjoyed the stay and would definitely come back if we're in Santa Cruz again.

High end feel for lower cost
One of the most spacious rooms I've ever stayed in. Normally you would have to pay suite prices, but their regular King room, which included a sitting area with fold out couch and lots of floor space. Very clean and comfortable. The included breakfast was typical hotel fare, but a wide variety of options, and they seemed to try harder in presentation. Being a 10 minute walk from downtown Santa Cruz was very convenient. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice time
The room was comfortable and clean.
I reported that TV didn't work. We made it work...gave us time to communicate as a family and sleep without the blue lights....lol.

comfortable and clean
Very comfortable room and bed; very helpful staff; great breakfast. The only thing is, be aware there is ONLY valet parking, for an extra $18 per day (not counting tip for valet of course). No self parking.

Over all a five, however, direct tv was unreliable. Finally came on but for a short time. Reported to front desk, but no one showed up. Next day direct tv was available for short time. Not sure about daytime since not in the room. Pm was problematic.

I like this as a place to stay in Santa Cruz. It”’s central and easy to drive to stuff. You can walk to the beach/pier but it’s not that close. The rooms are clean, pool is nice, staff good. It’s $19 to park and the breakfast is not high- quality.
