Cute, comfy, and friendly near Santa Cruz Pier fun

Friendly front staff and comfortable, clean rooms. Really cute renovation/design. Could not have asked for a better place to stop one night in Santa Cruz. It’s walking distance to the pier - far enough to avoid crowds and loud noise but close enough for a nice stroll to the water and festivities. Would consider staying again.

It’s been a few years since I’ve stayed here and now it’s under new ownership. They’ve remodeled the rooms and bathrooms. Very nice, comfortable bed, nice towels, comfortable pillows, and very roomy. Tried to check in early per a text that I received offering it however once I arrived it I wasn’t able to which was disappointing. Only negative was they were going to put me in a room where the air conditioner isn’t working properly;staying cold and I was told the heater in room would off set the cold. Hotel wasn’t sold out and with a small child with me I said it wasn’t acceptable. They immediately offered to change the room for me. I’m sorry but that room should be last one offered to any customer.
