10/10 Excellent
"Everything about the place was great I would definitely stay there again. I'm already planning my next trip the only drawback is the valet parking there's additional charge with the amount I pay for the room you would think that was covered my stay was definitely worth the cost but having to pay an additional amount for valet kind of wasn't what I was expecting"

"This kids and I were on our way back home from our road trip and were stopping in Santa Cruz for the night. The arrival and check in was fast and easy. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Hotel was in a great location and a short walking distance to the boardwalk and restaurants. It was perfect for my kids and I short stay. The hotel also has a guest laundry room on site where you can do a couple loads of laundry if needed. I love getting back home and not have to do laundry so this was a big plus for me. I really enjoyed my stay here and will be staying here again soon."
