The room was clean and very spacious. I enjoyed the view and beds were also very comfy. The parking is valet, costing you $35 a night but honestly wasn’t too bad. Also very close to the boardwalk and other local areas.

Stayed here with family and everyone was so nice! I was even offered a pack and play for my baby’s convenience, which is very thoughtful. The rooms were super clean and very very comfortable! The only downside is the valet charge but it is what it is. Also about 5 min walking to the boardwalk!

We stayed for a marathon this past weekend. The hotel was very clean, staff were super helpful and welcoming. The location was a plus for us especially since we have young children. It made accessing the boardwalk without driving conveinient. Only took 5 minutes to walk there. We enjoyed this place and will be booking again in the future for our next visit to Santa Cruz.

Only exception I have. You will pay for parking. It’s valet parking. $35/night. I wasn’t aware but not a big deal. Very close within 5 minutes of everything. Good food/boardwalk/beach. Will stay here every time I come now.
