The room was clean and quiet (we were in the back), the hot tub was lovely, parking was easy. Only thing that could have been better was breakfast, but it was fine: cereal, make your own waffles, bagels, mini muffins, biscuits and gravy(not good), coffee, tea, juice. The front desk staff was lovely. We stayed for 1 night for my daughter’s 10th birthday and would absolutely stay again.

We had a great room that was very clean. The desk manager was more than accommodating and helpful in suggesting restaurants in the greater area. The jacuzzi was clean and fenced off in a private corner of the property. They had a lovely inner patio area. The location was in a quieter area of Santa Cruz, with a straight shot out to West Cliff Drive. We would happily stay there again.
