    family-friendly location
    varied breakfast options
    pool area
    limited family activities

    We had a fantastic stay here with our two teenagers! The location was perfect for exploring, and we loved the delightful breakfast options. Our kids enjoyed swimming in the pool and the cozy fire pit at night. We even had fun kayaking nearby at the beach.

    My kids wished there were more activities specifically for families.

    common areas

    The hotel was clean and well-decorated, with accessible features and wide corridors that made it easy for seniors to navigate. I particularly enjoyed the beautiful local artwork displayed in the lobby, adding a lovely touch to the ambiance.

    More seating options in common areas would be nice.

    ocean views
    free breakfast
    great location
    beach view

    Had a great time with my friends! We enjoyed kayaking nearby on our trip and appreciated the free breakfast. The high floor corner room had some nice ocean views too. The location is a little bit away from the main area, but it's perfect for relaxing after a long drive.

    We would have liked a better beach view, as the options are pretty limited in the area for a quick stay.

    cold room

    Nice Place, but Cold Rooms!

    We stayed for 4 nights in a Queen Room. The breakfast had all paper and plastic utensils, which felt a bit cheap tbh. My kids didn’t mind, but I just didn’t love it. Plus, the room was super cold on the first night, and the aircon was loud. On the bright side, the location is great for exploring Santa Cruz!

    cozy sitting area
    unheated pool
    limited beach view

    I loved the spacious rooms and the cozy sitting area—felt like a home away from home! 🌅 Just wish the pool was heated. it could've been more enjoyable for a swim.

    delicious breakfast
    clean hotel
    lingering odor
    quiet area

    The hotel features a lovely breakfast with a variety of options and is very clean. However, the room had a lingering odor that was bothersome. It's in a quiet area close to Nature Bridges, which was great for exploring the coast.

    comfortable bed
    late night snacks

    Couple getaway with some quirks

    The check-in process was a bit chaotic at first but they eventually found our reservation after some back and forth. Our King Suite was spacious, loved the comfortable bed and the mini fridge was handy for late night snacks.

    It wasn't cheap, but the stay was still acceptable, considering the amenities.

    close attraction
    noisy environment
    parking issues

    Proximity to Natural Bridges State Park, Clean and modern rooms, Fitness center open 24/7

    Thin walls causing disruptive noise from upper floors and adjoining rooms!!! Limited accessibility to the pool and spa facilities left me frustrated with my downtime options!!! Parking spaces are excessively narrow, making it a challenge for larger vehicles!!!
