Great hotel if need to be close to UCSC, so perfect for our visit. Nice, clean and reasonable price if not during a peak UCSC event date (or book early). The free breakfast was just ok, but glad it was available.

The hotel is wonderful, great location. However, the hotel has four floors in total, and we stayed on the third floor. The floor above us was very noisy — we could hear people walking around, and there were also people running up and down the hallway in the middle of the night. The soundproofing was very poor.

John was very friendly and helpful. There was a problem printing keys the night we checked in, so he had to assist everyone by taking them to their rooms to let them in. The hot tub was out of order. I would like to know why i have a $100 charge pending on my card after i checked out.

Room was very clean. Bed was good. We had some loud neighbors, but it wasn't too bad. The breakfast was extremely minimal, but there is a range of options. It was enough to take the edge off but we chose other options for the rest of our stay. Lobby was very clean and staff was always very friendly.

We liked the size and comfort of the room but we had some issues. Our King suite had two televisions but neither worked. We ended up having to move rooms after we had unpacked, which was a hassle, and into a noisy part of the hotel with a ton of activity. It was not ideal and I don’t know if we would stay here again. The front desk attendant in the morning was much more helpful, and we certainly wish he’d been on duty the night before.

Staff was really helpful, especially when we left an electronic item after checkout. They walked us up to the room, and that was really great. The room itself was not bad, just sparse. Not enough pillows originally, but we were able to order some more. Again, staff delivered in a timely manner. Breakfast was pretty good.

I loved how quiet and clean this place is and how helpful the staff are. I had some reservation changes and they had no problem accomodating me. My room had a great view of the ocean from the balcony, plus it was super clean and I could control the heat. Definitely the best pick for a getaway to Santa Cruz--only 2 minutes from Wilder State Park, Natural bridges and great coffee shops. Will stay here again!

I booked for a King a received 2 Queen. I advised at my check in and they advised I was incorrect. Asked at checkout what the price difference was and was advised the hotel manager was going to give me a call regarding the issue and I have not received a response.

Yes there was a price difference between the two room types.

Nice Hotel, Bed Is a Violent Enigma

The hotel smelled great, had high ceilings, and updated tech.

I have a love/hate relationship with the bed.
Love, because I experienced an important milestone within its sheets (a full night of sleep -- get your minds out of the gutter, perverts).
Hate, because the bed frame was cursed and out to get me.

Within 15 seconds of entering the room, I stubbed my toe. Okay -- not my first encounter with clumsiness.
But within 30 minutes, both shins had been rammed. Not once, but twice.

By the time I checked out, my legs looked like I'd seen frontline combat... and lost.

This wasn't clumsiness-- this was premeditated. The corners waited. They calculated. Then they struck: out of nowhere.

Would I return? Yes. I'm a sucker for character development and light emotional abuse.

Very clean, newer hotel in a bit away from downtown SC.
Room is large, bathroom is also roomy, a refrigerator and a microwave. Comfy bed. Quiet area.

We stayed only one night and no problems but some
notes; thin walls. I could hear every word next room guest said. They were very quiet by 10pm the night we stayed, so no issues.
Amenities such as tiny hand soap and moisturizer was a bit looked cheap, despite of everything else was good.
Would be nice to have complimentary bottles of water in a room but you can buy them easy at snack kiosk by the front desk.

We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel, went to a cup of cappuccino and breakfast plates at near by bakery cafe, Companion. 5mins drive and great place.

Overall, great stay. We will definitely stay here next time we will be in Santa Cruz.

I could not get an ADA room it did not have it at the check in. Spent 1 hour to find a room with 2 beds
Bathroom was not ADA. The lift to the hot tub and pool did not work. Again the pool and hot tub lift was not available just like my Sacramento. It seems I always have hotel problems regarding ADA rooms and lift. It been so bad my experience with Expedia. Third party has a lot of disadvantages
