Parking sucks

Parking sucks. Very tiny parking garage in the front of the hotel (someone actually crashed their car into the wall, damaging the wall and im sure their car during our 1 night stay) and the rest of the parking is around the back of the hotel. Hand soap and lotion are under lock and key on the wall and at least in our room were not in a convenient location.

Wonderful

This was a much needed, short getaway for us which was exactly what we were hoping for. Check in was fast. A wonderful, pleasant, and cheerful young woman greeted us and we were in a beautiful room within 10 minutes. The room was tasteful and clean (as was the entire hotel), the beds were comfortable which is always a huge perk at our age. We spent our few days exploring Santa Cruz and found the town pleasantly unique, the residents quite friendly, and the surroundings exquisite! We love little beach towns. The last “gem” was the Santa Cruz Diner; what a great place! We had a restful and rejuvenating experience which will have us returning and telling everyone about! Thank you.

What I liked the most is room cleanness. However, the room was noisy at night. Secondary, the front desk people do not want to do extra work. For example, they are very good at check in and out process. Unfortunately, the answer is "I don't know", when questions are beyond the work coverage.

Upon entry, I was greeted by three people, which is absolutely amazing. The staff is so friendly and kind and they reminded me about breakfast in the morning when I was checking in for my room the day before I love that I was able to contact the front desk at any time. The staff is absolutely amazing. The hotel is beautiful and clean. I will most likely stay here again and recommend my friends to come here.
