We were told by the staff that only one vehicle could park for free in their lot. They informed us that there was plenty of parking across the street. This was a pay for parking lot that was available until midnight daily. They did not make us aware that a very large event, starting at 6am, would be happening there the next morning. I am certain they should have known of this triathlon and made us aware of the street closures, no parking, and the early noise! We did not see any signage about the event or parking situation so i parking there ar the advice of the hotel our daughter's car got towed. It took many phone calls to figure out where it was taken and $1200 later we got the car back. In mentioning the situation to the hotel staff and manager they were not helpful or compassionate. The attitude was uncaring and not my problem. It was very disconcerting to say the least.

The room seemed like it was a closet at one point that had been converted. The hardwood floors were dirty upon arrival and the bathroom (shower) could use some major TLC… on a positive note, check-in was very pleasant. The employee behind the desk was welcoming and helpful. Also, downtown and the boardwalk were within short walking distance which was a big convenience.

I took my daughter and granddaughter to Santa Cruz for a short vacation. This hotel was wonderfully located and i thought a great value compared to othe hotels in the area. Easy walk to downtown the Boardwalk and Wharf. The staff was amazing. Wonderful customer service. And having worked in CS for over 20 years I know what good is. The hotel is older but our room was very clean and maintained well. The pool area was nice with 2 hottubs and lots of seating with lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas and lots of towels provided. We enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night. Only cons are the parking lot is very tight. I always found a space but it often took some maneuvering to get into. I drive a Rogue. And the vending machine was out of water. Otherwise perfect stay. We will definitely stay here again! Its not fancy. Have appropriate expectations and you'll enjoy your stay. Ritz quality customer service especially at the front desk. Thank you so much for making our vacation comfortable, convenient and fun!

Room was clean. We got a room with a jetted tube but didn’t use it. It looked old and we weren’t supposed to use it past 10 pm. Pool/hot tub was nice. Hotel was close to boardwalk

We chose this hotel because the description led us to believe that it was very near the boardwalk. It isn't. It's about a mile walk each way. It was good to exceed 10,000 steps, but we walked 3 1/2 miles getting to the boardwalk and back. The hotel was very clean and our king room was plenty large. The bed was so-so and the pillows like rocks. I did not sleep well. The people working there were very pleasant and we were able to park our car free. Dogs can stay for an extra $30 each, which is about average. It was fine for one night, but not longer.

Great hotel/great value

I have nothing negative to say this hotel was amazing. Great value,staff is great. My room was clean plenty of free parking. We got into town a little early to enjoy the beach. The staff let me park there before I checked in. about one block from Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which was very convenient.
