    The rooms were large and clean. The lighting in the bathroom was great! The walls are a bit thin - at one point during the night I could hear snoring in the room next to me and a baby crying in the room above us. The breakfast was awesome and the staff were super helpful. I would stay here again.

    Holiday Inn Express & Suites was a nice hotel in a convenient location. If you are looking for a client, inexpensive hotel in Santa Cruz, this is it. The neighborhood wasn't as dynamic as downtown or near the harbor. Overall, a decent hotel. Our room was clean however the second room I booked for another couple smelled a bit of stale cigarettes.
