I loved how quiet and clean this place is and how helpful the staff are. I had some reservation changes and they had no problem accomodating me. My room had a great view of the ocean from the balcony, plus it was super clean and I could control the heat. Definitely the best pick for a getaway to Santa Cruz--only 2 minutes from Wilder State Park, Natural bridges and great coffee shops. Will stay here again!

I booked for a King a received 2 Queen. I advised at my check in and they advised I was incorrect. Asked at checkout what the price difference was and was advised the hotel manager was going to give me a call regarding the issue and I have not received a response. Yes there was a price difference between the two room types.

Nice Hotel, Bed Is a Violent Enigma The hotel smelled great, had high ceilings, and updated tech. I have a love/hate relationship with the bed. Love, because I experienced an important milestone within its sheets (a full night of sleep -- get your minds out of the gutter, perverts). Hate, because the bed frame was cursed and out to get me. Within 15 seconds of entering the room, I stubbed my toe. Okay -- not my first encounter with clumsiness. But within 30 minutes, both shins had been rammed. Not once, but twice. By the time I checked out, my legs looked like I'd seen frontline combat... and lost. This wasn't clumsiness-- this was premeditated. The corners waited. They calculated. Then they struck: out of nowhere. Would I return? Yes. I'm a sucker for character development and light emotional abuse.
