My stay at Rio Vista Hotel in Santa Cruz was nothing short of delightful. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a picturesque setting that made me feel right at home. The hotel's location right by the San Lorenzo River is perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape while still being close to all the action of downtown Santa Cruz. The views of the river and the surrounding greenery create a serene atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The room I stayed in was tastefully decorated and impeccably clean, with modern amenities that made my stay comfortable and convenient. The bed was cozy, the bathroom spacious, and the little touches like complimentary toiletries and downstairs coffee station added to the overall experience. The staff at Rio Vista Hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing excellent recommendations for local dining and activities. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their guests truly sets this hotel apart. Overall, Rio Vista Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you're visiting Santa Cruz for a relaxing getaway or exploring the area's attractions, this charming hotel is the perfect place to stay.
