We arrived Friday night & left Sunday morning. My husband woke up sick Saturday so our plans changed. I ended up shopping at Target & the Mall while he slept. The BW staff were understanding & gave us extra items we needed. Would highly recommend & we will be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed here last night, I will never be returning. Awful experience, rude staff and so loud you could hear everything, especially when anyone walked or knocked on a neighboring door. The area is filled with homeless people, I would not recommend this area, or this property. When I told them about my experience, they were completely dismissive and lied about their cancellation policy (I wanted to cancel my second night there so it went to waste). Save your money, go next door, or really anywhere else.

Exactly what was needed on a late night in Santa Cruz. Clean, comfortable, could be a bit quieter. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. There is a lot of road noise until late in the evening.
