Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and Boardwalk, making it easy to explore Santa Cruz. The rooms lack maintenance and cleanliness, with issues like incomplete tiling and dirty walls. The service is unwelcoming and unhelpful in certain situations.
The hotel is situated in a convenient location in Santa Cruz, moments away from the beach, the boardwalk, and other attractions. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, although there were issues with an unpleasant smell and the presence of cockroaches. The service provided was friendly and helpful. The dining options offered were above average, with a good selection of local and fresh items. Overall, the hotel provides a great location and decent amenities, but there are some cleanliness concerns that need attention.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the beach and downtown, offering clean and reliable rooms equipped with a microwave and fridge. While the proximity to attractions is a plus, rooms facing the parking lot may not match the website's aesthetics.
The hotel was a huge letdown, with filthy rooms that need a serious deep clean and unprofessional service. On the bright side, the location is convenient, near the beach, and boardwalk. However, the dining options were minimal.
