The hotel was very clean, and my family and I had a wonderful stay. We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and the hot tub—they were both amazing and very well maintained. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was welcoming, relaxing, and peaceful, which made our visit even more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Overall we enjoyed our stay but we weren’t happy with the fact that our room was hardly cleaned once (or half) during our 3 nights stay. Only one bed out of the two was done, weird. Besides that the heated pool was lovely and clean. Pool service was good, food and drink were also very good. The lobby and bar design was beautiful. I would stay there again but maybe get a day pass only.

The rooms were nicely, renovated and clean, and the staff was helpful. Short walk to downtown Santa Cruz or the beach. Quiet overall - we were on the 4th floor.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The staff were friendly, and the lobby had a unique, welcoming feel. However, the property felt a bit dirty and worn out for my taste. It didn’t seem as clean or as well maintained as I would have liked, which affected my overall impression.

The staff were super friendly in the restaurant. The property and common areas were beautiful. Our room was a little smelly and could have used some attention. We would stay again though. It felt safe and convenient to walk downtown and the boardwalk.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

One of the nicer hotels to stay in Santa Cruz. Loved the vibe, decor, and how kid/dog friendly this property is. The rooms are a little bit worn and outdated and there were some updates that probably need to be made to the hotel itself. The pool and amenities were nice. VERY expensive parking, food, and drinks - although the room booking itself was reasonable. No outside food or drinks are allowed, so just note that you'll be spending a lot hanging out at the hotel.
