My wife and I celebrate her birthday here and it was a wonderful choice! Its a little away from the malls and other shopping store, but it is worth it! The hotel have beautiful art located at the entrance and around the restaurants and lounge. Staff is over the top very polite and aware of every detail, they are very hospitality friendly! The pool is on level 20 and the view is so breath taken even at night. This hotel is Top 3 of my list in Santa Cruz would go back again!
