Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Staff was really helpful, especially when we left an electronic item after checkout. They walked us up to the room, and that was really great. The room itself was not bad, just sparse. Not enough pillows originally, but we were able to order some more. Again, staff delivered in a timely manner. Breakfast was pretty good.
I loved how quiet and clean this place is and how helpful the staff are. I had some reservation changes and they had no problem accomodating me. My room had a great view of the ocean from the balcony, plus it was super clean and I could control the heat. Definitely the best pick for a getaway to Santa Cruz--only 2 minutes from Wilder State Park, Natural bridges and great coffee shops. Will stay here again!
Clean, comfortable and conveniently located near downtown and the beach . Definitely will be coming back , staff was friendly and the breakfast was delightful.
From check in to the complimentary breakfast and parking, our stay was wonderful! The staff were all very friendly, room was so clean and huge! Wish it was available for the next time we are up to visit our daughter, but it is all booked and I can see why - we will definitely be staying here again in the future! Thank you!
