I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I woke up in the same position I fell asleep in. The hotel was situated in a quiet neighborhood, just a block away from the beach in Santa Cruz County. I loved the view of the ocean from my room, and the outside carpeted patio with tables and chairs was a nice touch. The hotel also offered free parking, which is a rarity in this area. The location was perfect, with easy access to the beach and other eateries nearby. The staff were friendly and responsive to my needs. The breakfast selection was fantastic, with options like pancakes, waffles, boiled eggs, yogurt. I was impressed with the cleanliness, hotel facilities, transportation options, and the availability of a patio and BBQ pit.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, with easy access to the beach within walking distance. The hotel is situated in a quiet neighborhood, which made our stay peaceful and relaxing. The pool and hot tub were a great addition and gave us the opportunity to unwind after a day at the beach. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay.
Nothing to mention.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was perfect as it was just a short walk from the beach and offered a quiet and peaceful atmosphere away from the beach parking lot. The hotel facilities were great, especially the lovely oasis with a pool, spa, waterfall, and tables where I could relax and unwind. The kitchen amenities in the room, including the stove, small fridge, microwave, and sink, were unexpected but greatly appreciated. I also loved the convenient location near the promenade, which allowed me to enjoy a beautiful morning walk along the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast options in the banquet room were varied and delicious.
Almost perfect. The only minor inconvenience I experienced was a 1:30 am wake-up call from another guest who mistakenly called my room thinking it was his wife. But other than that, everything about this hotel was truly amazing.
