Quiet room on back side of building with great beds! There is not much room to store luggage though, and could use a love seat or something for more seating. Also the tub floor was 8" taller than the bathroom floor so getting out of the shower or bath is a fall risk - there were no hand rails to grab on to1

The hotel was very clean, and my family and I had a wonderful stay. We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and the hot tub—they were both amazing and very well maintained. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was welcoming, relaxing, and peaceful, which made our visit even more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Looks like an older motel with a cosmetic face-lift. Ceiling of room had cracks. Walls were thin. I immediately regretted not paying $50 more for La Bahia. On the bright side, they let us check in early and the wait staff at the pool/restaurant was great.

The reason I am giving this hotel 2 stars is because our room smelled like mildew. The air conditioner was too noisy. There was a fight next room to us. A woman was yelling “help me”. We couldn’t get the room’s phone to work to call the front desk. So, we called the police. The pool area was very nice. Staff are friendly.

One of the nicer hotels to stay in Santa Cruz. Loved the vibe, decor, and how kid/dog friendly this property is. The rooms are a little bit worn and outdated and there were some updates that probably need to be made to the hotel itself. The pool and amenities were nice. VERY expensive parking, food, and drinks - although the room booking itself was reasonable. No outside food or drinks are allowed, so just note that you'll be spending a lot hanging out at the hotel.
