This is our second time staying at this property. Rooms are clean and well equipped with microwaves and mini-fridges. Breakfast goes all out with savory and sweet options. This property is in a quiet area but within driving distance to downtown Santa Cruz and all its attractions. Will be back soon!

The staff was very nice and helpful, everything was clean, the breakfast was nice. However, the room was missing/had broken items on arrival (remote control for tv, hair dryer, hand soap) and the walls and floor are paper thin apparently. We received a complaint from a neighbor about noise after walking quietly from the bed to the desk area- I didn’t like that a neighbor could call our room directly. Overall we would have been very happy if the room was 1/2 the price, but as priced was disappointing.

Wi-Fi is a huge factor in choosing where I stay and the Wi-Fi was not working during my 6 night stay. Parking was also limited so I had to park on the streets one night and squeeze into the last space another night.

Can’t complain.

Took the grandchildren 13,7,2 for a stay while we did mystery spot, roaring camp, small hikes, etc. Pool was clean and comfortable. Came back after a long day hiking and beach and asked the front desk for extra shampoo and conditioner. They brought to our room. Only thing that was a bit bothersome was we had a running toilet in our room, otherwise clean , comfy and did the job. Breakfast was reasonable for free.

We did not enjoy our stay WAY OVER priced for having no extra towels , blankets , pillows, body wash etc when asked they tell you they have no extras. Also 2 of the outlets did not work and the little refrigerator was hardly cold and we had to throw our milk and food out . Also there were ALOT of ants on the floor and crawling up the wall. REALLY disappointed because we paid almost 330 for 1 night stay . If i could give it no stars i would .

Our room was clean and the breakfast was decent with protein options. But we were disappointed in the fact that housekeeping is not provided daily. I was not told this at check in and was surprised to see our beds not made after the first night. Apparently it is only provided after the 4th night. When we needed new towels, the front desk person asked, “Right now?” it sounded like I was inconveniencing her. Then the next day we needed our trash cans emptied. When I called the front desk, they said they will have housekeeping come in to empty them. When we returned to the room later that evening, the trash cans were still overflowing. I had to ask a hotel worker who was sweeping outside to throw the bags out and give me new bags. I expected better customer service for what we paid. We will not be staying at a Best Western again.

Everyone was nice, the room was clean, parking is a lil tight but not a big deal. The only thing was that the toilet ran all night, like the water in the toilet and it was so loud…made it hard to sleep. The pool was nice but the hot tub looked discolored. The walls of the hot tub were dirty, maybe thats why. But overall safe and quiet… all ok for the price.

There was only 4 non caffeine coffee supplied in the room. There was only 2 Kleenex’s in the Kleenex box. No extra box. Air conditioning was not on in the room when we arrived. Room was very hot. We kept the door open for awhile so room could cool off.

Cleanliness is very important to me. The room was clean and comfortable. I have noticed in some hotels that the AC unit dehumidifies the room leaving my throat and nose dry. Didn't have that problem here even though I ran the AC unit all night.
