LOUD
My room was on the side of the hotel that faces Mission, so all night I would hear cars taking off from the stoplight like they were drag racing. It was loud and I certainly didn't get a good nights sleep. If you want quiet, best to ask for a room on the opposite side of the building.

Satisfied
I have stayed at this hotel close to 10 times as a remote worker for UCSC when in town. It meets my needs for a comfortable and clean room with convenience to both its coastal and main campuses. Easy parking, quiet, decent breakfast, complimentary internet. My needs are met.

Just what we were looking for for a trip to the Santa Cruz area. Family wasn’t planning on spending much time in the hotel, so we just needed a place with free parking, a decent free breakfast, pool and space in the room. All of that was taken care of here.
