The rooms were spotless. I worried a little that because of the location it might be noisy, but it was very quiet. Close to everything, but off the main streets. Very nice. ##### Barbara Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tui Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean. It was quite warm when I got in, but the AC worked fine. The staff were friendly. The parking lot was small, but had plenty of spaces while I was there. The main reason I went for this hotel was location. It's right off Highway 1, near downtown Santa Cruz, & only a 10-15 min drive to Aptos where I had an event. I wouldn't say much is walking distance, but only a short drive. I did miss the turn the first time, but once I figured it out it was very easy to find. The pool was open, but I didn't use it. My room had a bathtub, which made me very happy, since I live in a small apartment with a shower only. I would have preferred an electric water kettle, to drip coffee maker, as I did not have that kind of time. That being said, it's nice that it was provided, along with a fridge and microwave so I could make my trip more affordable and have leftovers from yummy The Red Apple Café. ##### Tui Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Troy Sep 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice staff, good stay.
