"Nice and peaceful."

7.0

The location, Far enough away from all the foot traffic and close enough for a nice walk.

Everything was pleasant, nothing to really say that I didn’t like.

"It worked very well for our weekend in Santa Cruz!"

8.0

Rooms were very clean, beds comfortable. Great location, just a few blocks from the Boardwalk and Beach. They let us let our car there on the day we checked out so we didn't have to pay for parking at the beach. That was fabulous!!

Rooms were very small, needs an update.

"Cute hotel and close to the beach and boardwalk"

10.0

I loved the layout of the rooms.

It was not a fancy hotel but it was perfect for what we needed. The parking was a bit tight.
