"The best thig about this place is the location, it's an alright place to crash for a night or two, but don't expect much, not real clean, not real dirty, hardly any water pressure, kind of quiet, neighbors had their AC cranking much of the night/morning."

"We had a wonderful vacation in Santa Cruz overall, but I’m not sure we would choose to stay at this hotel again. Especially considering we paid around $400/night, plus an added $160 dog fee for 3 nights. Overall, I don’t think the quality of the hotel lived up to the price. Considering how much wear ..."

"Probably the coolest hotel I’ve stayed at in as far as I can remember. The decor was out of this world! The bed was absolutely fabulous! Loved the little extras (night time surprises on my pillow, cold lavender towels and popsicles by the pool). Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!"
