Great hotel/great value

I have nothing negative to say this hotel was amazing. Great value,staff is great. My room was clean plenty of free parking. We got into town a little early to enjoy the beach. The staff let me park there before I checked in. about one block from Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which was very convenient.

Good place

We enjoyed our stay here! It’s in a prime location so honestly couldn’t have asked for a better location. It’s a straight shot to the beach and parking was convenient right on the property. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a great stay for one night on our mini vacation to Santa Cruz.
