The elevator did not feel trustworthy. I heard another family saying they got stuck in the elevator. The hotel is not even a year old and has problems. The parking was terrible. It is too over priced. I would not stay there again.

Giving a positive rate due to location very near the boardwalk and the valet staff were nice. Except from the check out little misunderstanding with the staff . For the rooms we’re about average the bed was not comfy , wish they had a breakfast buffet, parking could be free and pool area could be updated but for its location can’t beat it. Near to local store and Taqueria who (fogot /miss the chx quesidilla . )

First off - Valets were great. Parking is a pain, but they made it easy to get in/out. Just about everything else was...challenging. When we checked in, our room was reasonable (nice and clean, but we had some broken furniture that we had to work around). Our room had a door to an adjoining suite that was closed as the room was occupied by another traveler. Shortly after check in - we kept hearing screaming and loud noises coming from somewhere, but the could not figure out where. The hallway had some noise, but was very manageable - the insane level of noise was due to the adjoining suite and showed no signs of abating (kids have bad days - I get it). So I went to the front desk to see if we could simply change rooms since we needed to sleep. The manager stated they didn't have any other rooms available to move us to. However when I asked if renting a second room was an option, she stated that they had plenty of inventory for that and found an available room with similar attributes. We got a discount on the second room, but they would not refund the initial (unusable) room. Followed up with Hotels.com support, Marriott Corporate and will be escalating to my credit card company next. Also - Elevators are not in good shape - the running joke was all the folks taking the stairs as it sounded like the metal boxes were going to get stuck at any time. Regarding food service - front desk said food was available til 10pm, TV menu says the same - the reality is 9pm - heads up!

This is a fairly new hotel two very short blocks from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. I can only really speak of the room because we didn’t use any of the hotel’s other amenities. The room was spacious and very clean. The bathroom and shower were also very spacious and clean. The hotel staff was fantastic. I’d definitely stay here again.
