Great property. Room was a little small but clean, up to date and the pool was great! We were there on Fathers Day, they had a DJ going at the pool, made for a fun afternoon. Nachos were good from the restaurant. We were traveling with small children and they had a blast with the pool and the games they had poolside. Jenga, cornhole, and ping pong. All in all enjoyed this property.

The inside is better than the outside appeara. We liked the pool area and ambiance. Didn’t like paying $30 for parking and having a nonfunctional bathtub stopper.

The property is gorgeous! However, the bed sheets had old blood stains on them, and the sink and bathtub stoppers were broken. Highlight was the bar and dining options!

Overall a nice experience. The pool and spa area was nice. The room was very very small. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The lady at the service desk was not very helpful as we were checking in. We had a hard time finding the room. She didn't give as any direction at all. We had a homeless man looking in our car during our stay. Sketchy area with a lot of homeless people around.

This was a great property. We loved the pool and hot tub and the room was big enough for our family. The air in our room stopped working but they were quick to come take a look late at night and provided us with a fan which was perfect. I would definitely stay here again when in Santa Cruz.
