    Thank you. Everything is good

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location is great- super walkable to wharf/boardwalk. WiFi is terrible, so prepare for that. They let people smoke by the pool, so if your room overlooks the pool your A/C unit will just pull smoke of all varieties into your room, which is awful. Office staff is nice, but largely unavailable outside of midday hours. Room could use a deep clean (behind bathroom door, etc.), but is clean enough for a night or two.

    My husband only stayed for one night. The room was clean, grounds looked kept and it was within a 5 minute walk to the wharf and boardwalk. Close to many shops and restaurants. I would stay again. They have a pool and jacuzzi as well that looked clean, although we didn't use it.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Only complaint was that we were kicked out of pool area at 9 pm. We just wanted to play cards with friends. 9pm is too early to close pool area when in Santa Cruz.

    Nice place very convenient to the Boardwalk

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Room was clean, parking is a little tight but doable even with my big crew cab diesel truck. Great location less than 5 min walk to the pier and boardwalk. Nice little cafe right across the street for breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

    Very good

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location is good, sometimes parking is a challenge. Walls are thin because we could hear the people above us walking around in the middle of the night and can also hear the toilets flush, the pillows were terrible.

    This is my go to hotel every time I'm in Santa Cruz. The staff are all friendly and accommodating, the beds are comfortable, and the two hot tubs are amazing after a busy day.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Unfriendly staff the price is rediculesly high

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Deluxe room worth the extra money if you’re staying 3 or more nights. King bed on the hard side and pillows were hard like sandbags, no cushion at all

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was great for a one night stay. Property and room were clean nice new flooring beds were comfortable. All bathroom fixtures really needed some love. Faucets were very old tile cracked in bathroom dark brown or maybe dirty grout towel racks and toilet paper was from the 70s. Along with the noises a/c unit but worked great but noisy. It was great location walked to the beach for my morning walk. Lovely beach trail. 6 miles round trip.
