Our stay here was really really nice, super base for exploring Santa Cruz. Everything was perfect as expected, even so the bathroom was tiny.

I spent a decent time here, recommend to anyone. Good value, brilliant location, quick breakfast, flexible staff. I liked a recently renovated decor and exclusive furniture. Very quick check in and in general exemplary service.

Couldn’t fault.

To be honest I loved how fairly friendly the staff is, I would stay there again Breakfast was large, room was convenient. The staff did all they can for the best stay. Quiet beds, television, climate control and terrace in the room. Excellent place with excellent service too.

It was a such great experience overall. This hotel was quirky and breakfast was nice hot. The breakfast was included and had plenty of meals. Location just off downtown and boardwalk and beach.

As for me, the area was average.

Good base for a 1-night stay. Local fast food option Falafel Hut was 5 minutes walk away:)))

The room was cramped, we expected better.
