Great location and nicely kept rooms! Would be great if there were EV charging stations available on the property as we have made the switch to an EV recently. May have to find another hotel for future visits unfortunately.

Great property, but quite removed from the main part of Santa Cruz. It was absolutely perfect for us as we appreciated the quiet and remoteness. No restaurant anywhere nearby, but again, that was fine by us.

The location was easy to access and quiet. The hotel was clean, offered free parking and breakfast. What we really enjoyed was the layout of the hotel room. The sitting area was spacious, there were TV's in both areas and a coffee area with both a microwave and refrigerator. We will stay here again!

Great place to stay. Not far from the boardwalk or Monterey. The only complaint I have is, the front desk kept saying they are short staffed. Our room wasn’t ready to due to being short staffed. I asked housekeeping for new sets of towels. She said to me that my room was not on her list for service. I go to the lobby, ask for the towels…short staffed. I understand, you’re short staffed but all I asked for were towels and empty trash cans. I would stay here again.
