My favorite hotel in Santa Cruz
This is our go to hotel when we visit Santa Cruz. Friendly staff, delicious free breakfast, spacious rooms and a heated pool. Not to mention a 5 minute walk to the boardwalk.

Hotel was so clean and staff was friendly. However it lacked security from the parking garage to enter the hotel. There was no key card required for the elevator so u could easily walk into the garage at night and go straight up to any room if u wanted. Other than the lack of security it was a nice place

Must have very thin walls. We left a day early due to noise that kept us from sleeping. Could hear conversations in the next room and the floor above us sounded like a heard of elephants. Bummer because its a beautiful, clean hotel with nice staff. Be aware they also charge an extra $25 per night to park a car there.

This place was very nice. I was upgraded to an ocean view suite. Has good parking, and I could walk to the boardwalk. Very clean, and breakfast was great. Staff was friendly too. I will definitely come back next time I come to Santa Cruz!

We had come from a horrible stay in Monterey, Ca. The front desk employee listened to my sob story. She didn't have to but I'm sure she upgraded us. Our room was perfect.
