This is a nice hotel although ask for a room on the back side to avoid road noise. Our biggest beef: spotty wi-fi. The biggest plus: nice breakfast with decent options for hot, cold, and grab-n-go. Also pretty centrally located to our activities so convenient.

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend in Santa Cruz. Location is very easily accessible and a lot of restaurants within walking distance. The drive to the Boardwalk was less than 10mins. I loved that the parking and breakfast was included and it also has a charging station for EVs. Definitely will stay here again.

When checking in the front desk clerk tried to charge me $150 for my pet, when the Expedia website clearly said $75. After much complaining and showing him the $75 pet fee in the app, he only charged me $75. The facility was clean but there was a broken lamp in the room and the lights between the bed did not turn on. Breakfast was good and service people for breakfast were friendly and helpful.
