The room was okay, about what you'd expect for the price. The location was good. I went for a hike. The sauna & hot tub are what made me decide on this location, and they were just fine.

Actually the front desk guy was a bit surly when I asked for fresh towels ( my husband did not want to be disturbed when the housekeeper was making her rounds earlier). Other than that the stay was as expected.

This little place was great! Very centric, and pretty much right off what im assuming is a main street running through Santa Cruz. Close to many attractions, stores and downtown. The room was very clean, and the customer service was amazing. The breakfast was nothing fancy, but you also can't expect much if it's free, I suppose. The hotel is pretty small, and it's easy to get turned around while walking through the property, but it's practically a non-issue. Will definitely be staying here again.
