10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location, close to everything. The room had a great view of the beach and bed was comfortable. My only complaint is that we were not informed the outdoor area outside our room (the entire deck) was private to another guest’s room. While staff was polite informing us we were essentially trespassing on our neighbors personal space, it was an uncomfortable situation that could have been avoided if there were signs or it had been made clear beforehand."

"This, in my humble opinion, is the best place to stay in Santa Cruz. It’s DIRECTLY in the middle of town—it’s easy to get anywhere from the hotel. The property is adorable. The pool is great. The bar is open late and the food is good. The rooms are updated and super cute. Whenever friends come to see our daughter at UCSC, I always recommend it. We love it ."
