    Comfortable Stay for Solo Travelers

    Enjoyed my one-night stay in a cozy room with a sofa bed. The small lobby cafe offered decent options, though breakfast wasn't complimentary. Valet parking felt steep at $25. Arrive early to find street parking. Overall, a good experience for solo visits.

    spacious room
    ideal location
    poor soundproofing
    noise distractions

    The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that my stay was comfortable and productive. The room was spacious and well-equipped, featuring a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. The location was ideal, with easy access to nearby attractions and the boardwalk, which benefited my business trip by allowing for convenient after-work activities.

    The noise insulation was inadequate, leading to distractions during my stay.

    cozy room
    outdoor pool
    paid breakfast

    I really enjoyed the cozy vibe of the room with two queen beds, and I especially loved the outdoor pool and heated spa area for relaxing after a long day. Just a heads up, there’s no free continental breakfast, only paid options nearby, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, though, this was a great stay, and I’d definitely recommend checking out the grab-and-go snacks they offer! 😊

    fantastic location
    accommodating staff
    challenging parking
    limited gym equipment
    areas needing refresh

    The location is fantastic, just a couple of blocks from the boardwalk, making it easy to enjoy local attractions. The heated pool added a nice touch for relaxation. The staff was exceptionally accommodating and ensured a pleasant atmosphere during our visit. However, the parking situation could be challenging at peak times, and the gym lacked some equipment options. Additionally, while the overall ambiance was great for unwinding, some areas could use a refresh to keep things feeling modern.

    I loved how close this hotel was to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, just a few steps away, and it made exploring downtown so easy as well, with a nice 15-minute walk filled with fun sights and eateries along the way.
