Wonderful

It was fresh, bright, clean and well appointed. I do not like that you are forced to pay for use and pay for valet service. The guys came about the tub. It remained slow draining afterwards. Theonly other thing is that whom whomever they assign of room above us to were incredibly noisy? And their children ran back-and-forth, not just ran stumped. It would seem was horrible. Have children? So I understand that I tried to just deal with it, but it was ridiculous. Add I went to complain about it in the desk.Clerk kinda had an attitude with me telling me that.Oh well it's still before ten. At that point I told her, well, then you need to move me or you need to move them black. Anybody that you put those people below are going to have an issue. If the floors are that shallow, then they should probably put people with young children and families on lower floors or A floor in between people or something because that was really, really unnerving. Otherwise I had an enjoyable stay..
Outside of my grandson and my husband getting locked in the bathroom as lock was faulty took maintenance 10 min or longer to respond to get a screwdriver to unlock door

Room was dark and musty and smelled of chlorine from the pool and musty smelling. Room had excessive noise from upstairs. Typical of Santa Cruz…. No good hotels

This trip was a family trip during our 2 children’s spring break!!
The breakfast in the morning has great options for the entire family (cold and hot foods).
The pool and gym are close to each other.
The hotel has valet vehicle service, so we’d just left our van at hotel and enjoyed walking to the boardwalk twice, even our 12 year old daughter and 8 year old son, didn’t complain about the walk.
Great Staff and service!!
We’ll be back for sure!
Close to Santa Cruz boardwalk, about a 15 minute walk through nearby neighborhoods. Breakfast is complimentary but stays busy. Nice pool and hot tub. Rooms were clean but basic.Very large rooms with pull out bed which makes it convenient for familes.
