Not recommended
Super noisy area neighbors were up all night power went out because the breaker tripped and they couldn’t find the breaker no Internet

Exactly what was needed on a late night in Santa Cruz. Clean, comfortable, could be a bit quieter. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. There is a lot of road noise until late in the evening.

Stay was fine
Stay was fine, just not the cleanest. Seems like maybe shortstaffed, not necessarily due to the efficiency of housekeeping.

Overall stay was okay. I arrived to check-in too early. When i wanted to use the lobby bathroom staff was using it and took too long. With the room bathroom and other areas needed detail cleaning. It must be deep clean every time.
