Didn’t give me a beach view even we’ve booked with it. And argued because we’ve booked from Expedia we got lower quality rooms than booking from their official website.

The view from our room was absolutely stunning. The sunroom addition to the room was well worth it. One of the best stays I have had in Santa Cruz. Short walk to the beach and easy access to everything. Front desk woman was amazing- so kind and helpful. She really went out of her way to be helpful. Best stay I have had in a long time! Well worth it!
