Decent Place

Decent hotel for a quick stay. Our son was moving into his dorm early so we decided to head up to SC the night before. Room was clean, just a bit old. Beds were comfy and shower pressure was good. The shower head was a bit low for my tall son. All in all, a good one night stay. We would be willing to stay longer with the rest of the family.

Amazing Staff, Amazing Hotel.!

What was supposed to be a one day vacation turned into a three day vacation all because of my car but thanks to this hotel and friendly staff they made it so welcoming and comforting to stay there for those couple of days. We stayed in two different bedrooms, Two beds and one queen size bedroom. Both were super clean and stacked with towels. My daughters and I decided to go for a swim in their pool it was honestly super clean and well cared for. I loved our stays here, I’ve stayed at pricier hotels but the cleanliness here does not beat it. I’m so happy to have booked with them. Very thankful with the staff, all so sweet. Hope to see them on my next Santa Cruz trip.!
