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

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.

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 was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to the hotel and first walked into the lobby. The lobby and restaurant area was very nicely done and inviting. The staff member that checked us in was very friendly and helpful. We ended up having a slight issue with our reservation but the staff member more than took care of us and made it right. The room was good although there were some damaged areas that hadn’t been repaired. Someone prior to us pulled the toilet paper holder out of the wall and there was a large gap between the tile and where the water filler for the bathtub was. This did not effect our stay but was noticeable. We had breakfast at the restaurant the next morning and it was delicious. The options were excellent and the taste was to die for. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone else loooijg.
