Great little hotel and good food at the bar! Very nice and clean modern rooms. Looks recently renovated. Pool area looks nice, I did not get a chance to use it though. I will stay here again, I was very pleased with this gem of a find.

Staff is friendly. Room very clean and enjoyable. The only complaint is that I only got 2 towels. The next day when my room was cleaned they did leave extra 2 towels per my request, but they took the bath mat and never replaced it.

I wanted to stay another night and just hang at the hotel! The room was clean and comfy, the pool area was so inviting, and if we hadn’t had ima a with family we would have been in the bar and restaurant all night! We will be back the next time we come to Santa Cruz. Thank You!

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.
