    Suitable for families. but expect chaos

    The room was clean and comfortable. Also, I gotta say the staff were friendly and quick at check-in, which is a relief.

    It wasn't inexpensive, but still manageable, you know.

    The heated pool was a total highlight! 🌊 After a long day exploring, it felt amazing to relax and swim. The only downside was the limited breakfast choices, but overall a comfy stay!

    comfortable bed
    slow elevator

    The room was spacious and well-equipped, but the

    elevators were painfully slow, making it frustrating at times. The bed was quite comfortable, but I had issues with noise from the hallway during the night, which interrupted my sleep.

    great breakfast
    easy access

    enjoyable weekend strolls near parks and vibrant landmarks

    I appreciated the amazing proximity to both the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Colligan Theatre, making it easy to explore and soak in the sights without a hassle, while the free breakfast was a great start to my day of adventures. However, I did notice some noise disturbances from nearby guests that could be improved for a more restful experience.

    heated pool
    friendly staff
    good breakfast
    narrow parking spots

    Had an awesome time with friends! We visited the beach and explored the boardwalk, letting our inner child shine. The pool was fantastic—heated and open late, perfect after a day out. Breakfast had good choices, and the staff was super friendly.

    However, the parking spots in the garage were a bit narrow due to concrete pillars, making it tricky to find a good spot.
