Room was clean. Bed was pretty awful and pillows were torture. Parking was difficult for sure and it was awkward walking across a busy street to get to room.

The room was clean and cat friendly. The Chinese restaurant across the street was delicious. I’ll try the Thai spot across the street next time. The front desk agent was courteous and professional. I’d definitely stay again!

I regularly go to Santa Cruz for business trips & this is my favorite place to stay. Safe, centrally located, and super friendly staff. The rooms are always clean, beds cozy, and they don't skimp on quality of towels, shampoo, etc. :)

8/10 Very good

The staff were really nice and the location was perfect. I stayed in a single room and if was comfortable, but some wear and tear. The shower made a screeching noise when the hot water was on. The traffic noise was a bit loud and the walls are a little thin, but I had my noise machine so it was fine haha. Overall I’d stay there again :)
