Great location in Santa Cruz
Lovely spacious room. Comfy bed. Nice shower. Quiet! My only suggestion is to have plant based milk at the breakfast both for coffee and cereal.

10/10 stay!
Super clean hotel! We loved the spacious room. The valet staff and gals at the check in desk were incredibly friendly and offered up wonderful suggestions. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk through a residential neighborhood to the boardwalk. The free breakfast was perfect. They offered coffee/tea, juices, bagels/ toast, oatmeal, yogurt, French toast, bacon, eggs and sausage! Perfect for those with families. We will definitely book that hotel next time we are in Santa Cruz!

Very nice property, rooms are huge and clean. Only downside it’s in a neighborhood of homes and not close for walking to things.
