Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"I wasn't there too long -- just one night. But it was perfect for just me: clean, comfortable, and quiet. (I was a little concerned when I saw packages of earplugs on the nightstands, but it was a peaceful night.) The person working the front desk was great! I asked her advice on a quick place to eat within walking distance and she suggested the perfect restaurant! A great place with great staff!"
