I don’t often review hotels, but when you can’t stop thinking about how COMFY a bed and pillows were - it’s a sign you must! We enjoyed our stay, it’s very clean and nice, and sooo comfortable!! The only downside is that parking is not free, and it’s not even part of the property. Other than that, it was great! And the lobby coffee machine was amazing!

Great stay

I booked a room for one night the same day. I found a great deal on Hotels.com. Check-in was easy, the front desk was so kind, and the room was ready early. The room itself was spacious, very clean, and the bed was so comfortable. After a week of traveling in other budget hotels, I appreciated the good sleep. The hotel was quiet and had a small courtyard area set back from the street. Parking was included in a lot a few steps away from the building, with free coffee and a kitchen to be used off the main lobby. Centrally located between the boardwalk and downtown. I will definitely stay here again for the value and price point. Thank you!

We chose this hotel because it's a 5 min walk to the Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz. We had tickets to a concert there. It was very convention. The Chinese restaurant right across the street was very good. We had breakfast back behind at the Firefly Coffee House which was very good. The room was perfect for our one night stay. Very clean and quiet. Parking was a little tricky so I would suggest checking in during hours if you can. But it was very nice to park in their little lot and then just walk everywhere. We would stay again.

Walkable to beach or downtown. Premium coffee and tea available anytime. Access to an inner courtyard with nice areas to sit. There are only 9 rooms in the hotel so it feels more like a guest house.

Hidden gem that is ecologically designed beautifully decorated and small. Inner court yard with fire pits and couches make for an open air garden away from tourist areas. Downtown is central to all cool areas. Great whole bean coffee/latte/cocoa/tea bar in inner lounge free. 2:00on fresh backed snacks by coffee. Free Parking is right next door in camera monitored lot ( uncovered) full commercial kitchen available for all guests including huge fridge to store perishable items. Guest dinning area is so cute! Seaglass light fixtures Beach and wood accents. Friendly and attentive reception and greeting crew! the tall ceilings in the king rooms give a grand beach spacious feel to an already big room. The owner’s inspiration for the build and design are so eco friendly and sooo Santa Cruz vibe. Enjoy!
