The dingy gate around the property seemed concerning but I like that there is only one way in and out onto the property. I felt like it looked like an unsafe area but felt safe upon check in and beyond. Love the smells on property too!

Staff was friendly, clean pool/hot tub and clean room. Website has check in at 3:00pm, my Expedia room confirmation also had 3;00pm, but when we got there they told us it's 4:00pm. So we paid $40 for "early" check in.

i liked hotel location! close walking distance to boardwalk, and the beach.. my room was on first floor- near common area, and pool. this area became busy and noisy in evening and again, in early morning. Other than that it was an okay stay.

Staff is friendly . The hot tubs were yellow and the jets weren’t working correctly, may of been due to low water level?

Walls were paper thin. Upstairs sounded like they were rearranging furniture until 230am. The outlets didn’t work so I couldn’t charge my phone. Hot water in the shower didn’t work and it took them a while to get it working.

We found a fork in between the sheets in one bed. Found the toilet cleaner scruber INSIDE the toilet. People upstairs seemed they were stomping their feet up until 1130 pm and again at 530.am We ended up leaving earlier than our checkout time.

I love that it was only 10 mins walk from the boardwalk. Dogs are welcomed. Staff were nice and helpful. Rooms were clean. The upgrade price wasn’t that bad. Quiet place and area. Pool and hot tub were available. They should bring the breakfast back and have the coffee machine available 24/7 especially it’s always cold in santa cruz. We loved our stay and we recommend the hotel for sure!
