We had a great 4 night stay. It was a 5 minute walk to the boardwalk and restaurants. The place was clean and newly renovated and the minimal decor was a nice feel. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was not free but my husband said the kids really enjoyed it (I don't wake up fot breakfast). We definitely will be staying here again next time we visit Santa Cruz.

The hotel is in a great location. The employees were friendly and helpful. We had a great view of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. We recommended this hotel to others. The only thing is that the elevators are a little slow and sensitive. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay and would book this hotel again.
