Our stay here was really really nice, super base for exploring Santa Cruz. Everything was perfect as expected, even so the bathroom was tiny.

To be honest I loved how fairly friendly the staff is, I would stay there again Breakfast was large, room was convenient. The staff did all they can for the best stay. Quiet beds, television, climate control and terrace in the room. Excellent place with excellent service too.

It was a such great experience overall. This hotel was quirky and breakfast was nice hot. The breakfast was included and had plenty of meals. Location just off downtown and boardwalk and beach.

As for me, the area was average.

It was worth its 4 stars. We really loved to be here, its rooms and service. Comfy beds were provided. Pleasant people especially front desk staff. In a hurry we visited Falafel Hut nearby...

Good base for a 1-night stay. Local fast food option Falafel Hut was 5 minutes walk away:)))

The room was cramped, we expected better.

Great place to stay while travelling around Santa Cruz. Kudos to manager. The bed was super and there was free WiFi. Besides, parking was available onsite.

Nothing negative to say.
