I stayed here over the weekend for a triathlon event that I was participating in. The room was perfect! The staff is really friendly and the breakfast is great. I’d definitely stay here again the next time I’m in Santa Cruz

Breakfast was skimpy. There is no pool. There is a hot tub, but guests were in there drinking bottled alcohol, and talking nonsense to my grandchildren. When we checked out, nobody was at the front desk. We left the keys, and still haven’t been emailed an invoice

Having a 3 bed room within waking distance to boardwalk and warf was very convenient. The room was cozy but clean. Hot tub was nice, breakfast was slim but we were happy to have waffles included in room price.

Our room had a great view of the ocean, walking distance to the beach. Internet didn’t work though so if you’re planning to go online you’ll need to use your phone’s hotspot. Staff couldn’t help either. I gave 4 stars because of the internet, you need to be under 5 feet tall to comfortably use the shower, and the plug in scent was too strong and we had to place it outside. At least it wasn’t a floral scent so it wasn’t bad once we placed it outside the room for our stay. Overall a good experience, the staff was friendly and as helpful as they could be. Thank you for a good experience. :-)

We love staying here . Great views close enough to the beach , walking trails etc
We weren’t aware of the construction but that was fine
The office woman was absolutely wonderful!
Huge family with kids running wild and parents not even making a fake attempt at keeping them in line was the only negative

Location is great! Short walk to wharf and boardwalk. Room was clean. The balcony had an ocean view just beyond the buildings. Beautiful view of the sunrise.

The room was nice. We would ask for a room two rooms to the left of ours as ours was a little noisy. We had a nice balcony, but with NO chairs outside to sit on. Why? Wi-fi was sketchy and didn't work.
Breakfast was good, but would have preferred some sugar-free waffle syrup and butter that was not so hard and some plain yogurt (not flavored).
