Very comfortable beds and well designed room and bathroom. Seems better than most in the hotel/motel area of Santa Cruz. Probably need a car to get to the restaurant/shopping area and the beach areas. Nice and helpful staff. Good breakfast with scrambled and hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, various breads, and rotating dishes like potatoes, bacon bits or sausage.

Nice hotel. They upgraded our room for free which was very nice. The bed was ok and did the job. We didn't eat breakfast there because we wanted to enjoy the Santa Cruz diner but it looked good and there were a lot of people eating. The highlight however was the valet. That guy had me laughing and he gave us great directions and options of things to do before our concert.
