Staff was friendly, clean pool/hot tub and clean room. Website has check in at 3:00pm, my Expedia room confirmation also had 3;00pm, but when we got there they told us it's 4:00pm. So we paid $40 for "early" check in.

Staff is friendly . The hot tubs were yellow and the jets weren’t working correctly, may of been due to low water level?

Staff were courageous and professional. What I didn’t like that a window blind a panel was missing, we had to cover with a towel. Cleaning staff need to improve on cleanliness, there was a stain on the bathroom wall by the toilet and the computer chair was filthy.

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!

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Dirty floor. Very noisy. I paid through Expedia and then was charged again by the hotel. They had asked for my credit card so they could put a $25 deposit in the event that there were any "incidentals" that needed to be paid for. There wasn't even any coffee in the room. I checked out before 8 am. Today not only did the $25 stay on my credit card. They also put another $150 charge on it. My $134 room has now cost me $309. I need some help with this disaster dump
