Well, the 12:30am knock next door from the Santa Cruz Poloice Department to vacate the property was awakening and another hour of sleep lost, then, the 6am room alarm clock went off that I did not program, but, other than that the stay was good. I have stayed here before and no problems. The staff is great, location is great, hope for some compensation? Best, Mr. Duncan

Room quality was low, bed was uncomfortable, and the pet fee’s effectively doubled the nightly stay despite not requiring anything extra from the hotel.

It was great. I've been here a couple times and love it. The only thing I would suggest is more comfortable pillows. They are too stiff.

Yes the hot tub is hot enough and parking if you have one vehicle was good if you don't have only one vehicle and it's a nightmare you have to try to find 24-hour parking and there isn't any in the area.

You get what you pay for. Freezing pool, tiny hot tub. Stinky and not-cold in-room fridge. Gross, dirty lobby with nothing inviting about it. In-room chairs 100 yrs old and stiff. only redeeming quality is location to ocean.
