We had a great 4 night stay. It was a 5 minute walk to the boardwalk and restaurants. The place was clean and newly renovated and the minimal decor was a nice feel. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was not free but my husband said the kids really enjoyed it (I don't wake up fot breakfast). We definitely will be staying here again next time we visit Santa Cruz.
