Guest Ratings & Reviews
I stayed at this hotel for a night and found it to be a mixed experience. The rooms were outdated and tiny, needing some reconstruction, but they were clean and quiet, offering everything needed for a short stay. The service was super smiley and helpful, with friendly and accommodating staff. The location was convenient with a short walk to the pier, but the steep slope made it a bit challenging to access. The dining options were truly minimal, featuring basic items like pastry, juice, and coffee. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs, providing a decent stay overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were basic and a bit dated but surprisingly clean and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with super friendly staff making our late-night arrival pleasant. The location was ideal for exploring Santa Cruz, just a short walk from the pier and boardwalk, but the area felt a bit run down. The dining options left something to be desired with a very basic offering. However, the overall value for money was decent, and the hotel's proximity to the beach was a definite plus.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were pretty cramped and the furniture seemed old and damaged, they were fairly spacious and reasonably well maintained overall. The service, on the other hand, was a big plus as the staff tried to make up for the room situation by offering us a 'larger' room at the same price in a 'better location' above the breezeway. The location was superb for exploring the boardwalk and pier, with free onsite parking, which was a real bonus. However, the dining experience, especially the 'continental' breakfast, fell short with just normal pastries.
