This is a fairly new hotel two very short blocks from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. I can only really speak of the room because we didn’t use any of the hotel’s other amenities. The room was spacious and very clean. The bathroom and shower were also very spacious and clean. The hotel staff was fantastic. I’d definitely stay here again.
