Very nice place
This hotel is clean and very friendly staff. The free breakfast is great. They even have keurig coffee machines. It is very easy to get to and to go to Capitola and Santa Cruz. They have lots of parking and don’t charge to park!

Worth it !
We loved the spaciousness of our room . It had a cute little fireplace and sofa area. It made our stay feel more homey. We enjoyed the breakfast and the pool area too . It was great to have parking and central to where we wanted to be . Only small feedback I could give is I would have preferred blackout curtains instead of the plantation shutters . These looked very cute but I like my room pitch black.

Stay was great however they charged my CC on top of what I paid through Expedia an extra almost $200. Had to call to try and get them to fix it. Waiting for a refund.

Part of the hotel is newly renovated and looks really nice. It has its own parking lot, and that’s very helpful. There’s a nice courtyard with outdoor seating and the pool. The fitness center is easily accessible from that courtyard too.
