The lighting in the hotel room is not soft, but harsh “office” white — very unwelcoming. We will stay elsewhere next time we visit our daughter at UCSC.

Overall friendly staff, clean facilities and great location. The only cons are that elevator was out of service and the poor sound proof system in the room. People next door to us were loud at night and could hear everything through the paper thin walls. Unfortunately I couldn’t sleep the two nights I stayed there.

Everything about the property was awesome. Very clean and well kept. The only downside was it was difficult finding parking due to very minimal amounts of spots and people taking up 2 parking spots. A majority of it was for compact vehicles. We kinda had to make our own parking in the garage where there was available space. Other than that, we enjoyed ourselves a lot.
