Suitable for families. but expect chaos

The room was clean and comfortable. Also, I gotta say the staff were friendly and quick at check-in, which is a relief.

It wasn't inexpensive, but still manageable, you know.

Can recommend for a relaxing holiday

Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a complimentary breakfast make this hotel a great choice for families, especially since it's conveniently located just a short drive to the boardwalk and also offers access to beautiful redwood forests nearby.

All excellent.

The heated pool was a total highlight! 🌊 After a long day exploring, it felt amazing to relax and swim. The only downside was the limited breakfast choices, but overall a comfy stay!

would come back for sure

Check-in was fast and hassle-free. Rooms were super clean and had everything like a microwave, mini fridge, and a nice flat-screen TV. Loved the heated outdoor pool with comfy sun loungers. Breakfast was a joy, with fresh bagels and oatmeal. Location is convenient, close to restaurants and attractions.

comfortable bed

slow elevator

The room was spacious and well-equipped, but the

elevators were painfully slow, making it frustrating at times. The bed was quite comfortable, but I had issues with noise from the hallway during the night, which interrupted my sleep.

great breakfast

easy access

enjoyable weekend strolls near parks and vibrant landmarks

I appreciated the amazing proximity to both the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Colligan Theatre, making it easy to explore and soak in the sights without a hassle, while the free breakfast was a great start to my day of adventures. However, I did notice some noise disturbances from nearby guests that could be improved for a more restful experience.

good breakfast

narrow parking spots

Had an awesome time with friends! We visited the beach and explored the boardwalk, letting our inner child shine. The pool was fantastic—heated and open late, perfect after a day out. Breakfast had good choices, and the staff was super friendly.

However, the parking spots in the garage were a bit narrow due to concrete pillars, making it tricky to find a good spot.
