Lovely, cozy place & all the rooms were unique with their own views. We loved having a room on the water. Great location to experience a short stay in Santa Cruz! Great water pressure in the shower!

This hotel was PERFECT. The view from the room (3rd level) is just incredible. Very clean, big and comfy beds, exceptional shower. Parking is very secure and at the property. The hotel also had a pool and complimentary popcorn, and coffee. It is located right across the beach and pier with many restaurants and cafes.

Good location, felt safe. Rooms are older but decent. Front desk staff were friendly. Price was a little too high for this hotel.

Great hotel in a lovely location. Close to Santa Cruz, but far enough away for it to be a peaceful break. I liked the bar area, it was very relaxing by the fire on an evening.

The place was absolutely unreal and we got upgraded to a bigger and nicer room for free. Excellent location too and we had hot drinks and water available for us free of charge as well which was a lovely bonus!

The interior was lovely (although undergoing renovation so didn’t see the full effect) Also loved the pool area and outside car service. Very relaxing after a busy day! Ps we left our travel plugs and chargers. Went back a few days later - nothing too much trouble. Reception managed to locate and return them to us! 😊
