It's an okay hotel. Bed was decent and the breakfast pastries were a nice touch. My only complaint was the condition of the bathroom. Could definitely use an overall of the bathrooms and showers. Plumbing needed some help.

Good hotel, 10 minutes away from the boardwalk yet secluded from all the Santa Cruz traffic. Check-in was easy and although check-in was until 3 we were able to check-in when we arrived at 12:30 pm and check-out was easy too. Staff was really nice and they offer free coffee and pastries from 7-9 am. The room was in good service, just some areas were dusty. Outside area of the hotel is nice, and there is a lot of bushes and greenery so that means a lot of spiderwebs and spiders. Parking was easy and there were plenty of spots, just the parking lot needs to be upgraded since there is some spots on the dirt.

Charming stay in Santa Cruz

The service here was great. Got the fireplace suite which was great with teens because we had our own space. Bed was comfortable and grounds were nice. Staff was really friendly at the front desk. Restaurant on site was very convenient.

Great location and comfortable stay

The location of this place is great. Out of the buzzling of the town and traffic but near enough to go places. The room was clean, except the shower curtain. It smelled dingy, so we requested a replacement and were provided one very quickly. The room seemed a bit small for a group[ of 4 but comfortable enough to sleep and hang out for several hours. The staff was friendly and courteous. It seems like the place has gone through a renovation because things appear to be new, except for the pool. the pool can use a renovation. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

Excellent hotel at a great price. It was modern and didn’t have the outdated look that a lot of hotels in this area have. Front desk attendant was super friendly and helpful. Only downside was that our beds were more like a Full instead of a Queen. Overall great hotel. Would stay here again.

Great Experience

Our room was ready upon arrival, the pool is big, the restaurant’s food was excellent. Only bad thing is we’re only staying here one night. Wouldn’t mind staying another day or so.

Somewhat disappointing

Somewhat disappointing; lighting in room is terrible, making it depressing at night. There is only one nightstand - two tiny ones would have worked better than one large one - this way, one person has nowhere to put cell phone, necessities, etc (other than under the pillow.) On the positive side, the room is clean, the bed is comfortable, the location is good.
