Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in a beautiful location close to the beach and boardwalk with relaxing pool areas. While the hotel surroundings are lovely, the proximity to a septic tank causes some unpleasant smells. Breakfast options are basic with an early closing time that may not suit everyone.
The hotel may not appear great from the outside but surprisingly offers spacious and quiet rooms that are comfortable. The service is exceptional, with super friendly staff engaging with both adults and children. The location is convenient, away from downtown chaos but right on the road, and it offers a lovely pool area. The dining experience is acceptable but could improve with less sugary options. Overall, there's good value for money at this hotel.
The hotel had a slight smell in the rooms initially and took a while to cool down after sundown, but overall, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and inviting. Parking was easily accessible. The service was friendly and very lively; the staff was helpful and friendly, always ready to assist. The location was beautiful and quiet, just a short distance from the boardwalk, although a bit far from downtown Santa Cruz. The dining experience offered convenient options, even if limited. The facilities were well-kept and satisfactory.
The hotel had some positives like clean rooms and courteous service, but fell short on room temperature control and breakfast quality. The location was convenient for outdoor activities and beach trips, although the dining experience lacked variety.
Upon checking in, we found the hotel in a great location near town, but sadly the room we initially had was dark and cave-like, though it seemed brand new once we got to our proper room. The service was extremely warm and welcoming, with the staff trying their best to accommodate us, even though some promises fell through. The location was excellent, being very close to everything we needed, despite the initial bad smell in the area. The dining options were decent but could have had more variety, especially for longer stays.
