Nice hotel but not satisfied with the service
the hotel was pet friendly which is a plus since we were traveling with our dogs, but the service was minimal. The room wasn’t done cleaning by 4pm.

Nice hotel, bad sleep.
The hotel is nice, but the sound of the lifts all night was bad. With two children it was a nightmare. The staff give us a refund as they knew it was a problem which they have every night!

A good visit, we enjoyed the pool and the beds were comfortable however our bathroom was falling apart and needed some renovations. Felt expensive for the quality of the room. Location was decent but not walkable to boardwalk with small kids. Restaurant staff very nice and we enjoyed the food by the pool.

We were here at what is probably the busiest time of year, but the pool was packed, crowded, and noisy from 8am to 10pm. I could still hear kids running around noisily past 10:30pm. Rooms were not sound-proof. We were only here for one night while doing college tours, so it did not feel worth the price. I paid extra to get a hotel with a pool but it was so packed when we arrived that we never used it.

I hadn't been back to this hotel since the pandemic, but it was still a fun and cool place. I could see more wear and tear in the rooms, more than 5 years ago when I was last there, but the staff was young and helpful and the overall vibe was great

We love how pet friendly this property is! Our pooch joined us in our room, but also at the pool and restaurant. We also loved our meals at the hotel restaurant, both the indoor/poolside ambiance and delicious food and drinks!!

The pictures of the rooms were somewhat deceptive, but the pool and amenities were fun. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom and shower were great. Downside was the restaurant, the food was only ok -- the staff just ignored us when we tried to order. Great location in downtown Santa Cruz.

I must say that my experience was amazing because of the high level of attention from every single staff member . The focus on customer service from the moment we arrived through the entire stay was top notch . Every single employee was pleasant and accommodating. And the food was off the hook ! I will stay there again . No doubt ! Best experience I have had since pre pandemic ! Thank you all !
