We had gone to Santa Cruz for the day and decided to spend the night and we chose this hotel last second and it was a great option. It came with. I believe free parking and breakfast included. Everything was amazing. No complaints. The parking seemed a little bit of an issue however it wasn’t the people there were so helpful. They guided us for the park and it kinda looks like it’s going to be unsafe area. However everything was amazing. Nothing intimidating of the location.

The hotel was nice overall. It was clean and I felt safe (I was traveling alone for a wedding). Staff was very friendly and super helpful. Breakfast had some good choices. Parking was okay. It’s free which was nice and I liked I could see the parking lot from my room. If I am back in the area, I would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and nice, staff was helpful and friendly. However, I was not a fan of the lay out at all. If you have young children or light sleepers this may not be the best place. Our room (as well as others) were right beside- like 5ft-10ft, common areas. The pool, the check in lobby, and dining hall were all right by our room so 2am, LOUD voices walking by chattering by hotel staff, early morning diners eating and laughing, all immediately outside our door. The bathroom also had barnyard sliding doors which gave little to no privacy. The pool was so incredibly small that once there was 6 people in it you could not swim. Overall it wasn't our favorite stay.

When I searched the hotel, I searched it for the stay of March 17th through the 18th. After the hotel was booked my receipt showed March 18 through the 19th. I tried to contact management with no response. When I got there, the guy at the front desk came to the door and told me that it was 100% booked and there was no vacancy and because I booked through Expedia, there would be no refund. We could not stay an extra day so we didn’t even use the hotel room that I paid for.
