This was a great property. We loved the pool and hot tub and the room was big enough for our family. The air in our room stopped working but they were quick to come take a look late at night and provided us with a fan which was perfect. I would definitely stay here again when in Santa Cruz.

Great pool area and wonderful staff. The renovation is really nice. The rooms are a little strange, the bed is literally a foot away from a huge window that faces the walkway, so it was very noisy. But, that can’t really be helped, just something people with noise sensitivity might want to consider. Overall great experience.

Great property. Room was a little small but clean, up to date and the pool was great! We were there on Fathers Day, they had a DJ going at the pool, made for a fun afternoon. Nachos were good from the restaurant. We were traveling with small children and they had a blast with the pool and the games they had poolside. Jenga, cornhole, and ping pong. All in all enjoyed this property.
