The hotel and room looks new and well maintained. I like the contemporary design. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. It is our anniversary and we got upgraded to suite! The breakfast is good also. Also just 2 blocks away from boardwalk, very convenient location. We had a relaxing stay. Highly recommended.

Was floating around the Monterey Bay area and landed in Santa Cruz after a day of traveling. Booked here on impulse and it was fine value for the price. Staff was friendly and the location is solid - just a couple blocks off of the beach with street parking in the vicinity. Very safe feeling neighborhood. Some portions of the street are restricted to permit parking - so check carefully. They do offer onsite parking, but I opted to pay the meter during operating hours and saved ten bucks. Facility was clean and the breakfast was way above par here! Appreciated leaving on a full stomach and ready for another day of hiking. Some of the other guests were on the loud side of things - and this must be a perennial issue as we observed an 8.5 x 11 memo in the entry warning guests of nuisance noise charges potentially up to $150. A bit annoying since this night was a rest night on our trip. There's also a nuisance technology issue - iPhone can not connect to the TVs if you want to stream some form of entertainment, unless you travel with some sort of HDMI dongle, count on sitting with some basic cable option for entertainment. Rooms are sort of sparsely decorated but at least they have ample space, and it doesn't feel claustrophobic. All in all, a fairly average experience here. If I could do it over, I'd probably just spend the extra forty or fifty bucks to book at the La Bahia or Marea Sol hotels on the main drag.

This hotel has a great location to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It is a beautiful new building, clean, secured parking garage, decent breakfast, and spacious rooms. Unfortunately we encountered a few problems during our stay which was disappointing given the price for our room. We reserved a 2 queen + sofa bed for our family of four. The beds did not seem like queen size beds, more like doubles. The sofa bed was broken - one section wouldn't lock in place, so there was a valley then the end angled upwards. Blankets and linens for the sofa bed were not in the room. We tried calling the front desk @ 10pm but no one answered the phone. I went down to the lobby, and a sign at the desk said the employee was on a 15 minute break. When he returned, he gave me and another guest (with the same issue) the requested linens. The outlets on the nightstand didn't work for my husband's CPAP machine. Again, disappointing hassles for an expensive night's stay.

This place was great and really close to the wharf and boardwalk, the service was great private parking was great but it was at a cost of $25.00 and you had to park yourself there was no valet parking. Either way the place is nice and their complimentary breakfast was very good and the staff handling it ,were very professional . Looking forward to staying there again. Five Stars

We had a nice view from the room, the towels had hair stuck in the towels from previous visitors I'm assuming, the room we had, had a dent/whole in the wall, had to call the front office right away to make sure we weren't going to be charged for that. There was flying bugs in the room and bathroom, you can hear people in the next room over thin walls. The staff was really good. But I personally would probably get a different suite next time just to be more comfortable

The property has many problems, like limited space for breakfast, the continental breakfast was not real, and the food is ok. The property is understaffed, it's just one person at the front, who cannot help you with anything. AC was weird does not really do the cooling. Compare to money I don't think its a good choice.

The breakfast was decent, but I chose this hotel because it presents itself as family-friendly and it lacked some basic things.**There were no high chairs for babies in the breakfast area, even though many families were staying there and all the babies had to sit on their parents’ laps.

Also, I didn’t agree with the extra parking fee. In a place like Santa Cruz where parking is limited, it feels unnecessary to charge guests for parking when the hotel already has its own spaces. It would make more sense to include it in the room rate.
