Very nice modern room and great shower. Bed was very comfy. Walls were thin though, you could hear everything. Close to the water and shops.

I had a great stay at this hotel. My room was spacious, clean, and stylishly furnished, with a bathroom that feels like it belongs in a higher-end hotel. The location is perfect for reaching the main beaches at a walking distance. I’ll definitely stay here again. Special mention to the staff for their kindness!

Limited parking. But location perfect and walkable for many things . Only Suggestion would be a screen on sliding door to be able to leave open and enjoy the fresh air

I would say the staff here is wonderful and attentive and it is updated and clean with a quick wqlk to the board walk/ beach however the walls here are paper thin both mornings i was woken up by my neighbors alarm at 7 that went off for 10 minutes , we were located under the stairs and people would drag there luggage down without a thought for the people below, there was also a dog barking for over 10 hours till 11 pm, guys if you take your pets on vacation please dont leave them in the room, they are in an unfamiliar place and santa cruz is very dog friendly.
