It was a wonderful, clean, and safe place. The only drawback was the lack of makeup mirrors in the bathroom. Besides that, it was a sweet spot in a great area. You will need a car, though, to get around town, but that was not an issue for our family.

My only complaint is the balcony rooms have no dividers and are only a few inches apart so no privacy from the neighbor rooms which was quit a problem when we were both outside.

A rather stark hotel, average business grade. This is the only place I've stayed in years which does not include complimentary wi-fi with the room. To get that you have to enroll in the Bonvoy marketing program and get the spam.

Not sure why there are any bad reviews. Dont trust them lol ... place is awesome. Decorated for Halloween and smelled like fall upon arrival. Front desk staff was very sweet and prompt. Room smelled good, was clean, and the bathroom was IMMACULATE. Continental breakfast was the perfect hangover cure. FRESH waffles,eggs, breakfast sandos, cereal, muffins, juices, coffee, only thing missing was a mimosa ! Parking was FREE no hidden fees ANYWHERE like most hotels in the area. Cheap Uber ride to twin for dinner and drinks, can't beat it.

LOUD
My room was on the side of the hotel that faces Mission, so all night I would hear cars taking off from the stoplight like they were drag racing. It was loud and I certainly didn't get a good nights sleep. If you want quiet, best to ask for a room on the opposite side of the building.

I have stayed at this hotel close to 10 times as a remote worker for UCSC when in town. It meets my needs for a comfortable and clean room with convenience to both its coastal and main campuses. Easy parking, quiet, decent breakfast, complimentary internet. My needs are met.
