The dingy gate around the property seemed concerning but I like that there is only one way in and out onto the property. I felt like it looked like an unsafe area but felt safe upon check in and beyond. Love the smells on property too!

Walls were paper thin. Upstairs sounded like they were rearranging furniture until 230am. The outlets didn’t work so I couldn’t charge my phone. Hot water in the shower didn’t work and it took them a while to get it working.

I love that it was only 10 mins walk from the boardwalk. Dogs are welcomed. Staff were nice and helpful. Rooms were clean. The upgrade price wasn’t that bad. Quiet place and area. Pool and hot tub were available. They should bring the breakfast back and have the coffee machine available 24/7 especially it’s always cold in santa cruz. We loved our stay and we recommend the hotel for sure!
