    The room was quiet and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Well located close to ucsc and sc downtown.

    One of our favorite places to stay in Santa Cruz. The hotel is close enough to everything for easy access, but far away enough to get away from the hectic source of downtown/boardwalk.
  • Mark

    Having been to this venue before, I chose it based on its recent construction (built in 2014-15) and the location; just far enough outside the city to provide some peace, but close enough to access wants and needs that a city's business district...
