We loved the food, drinks, pool, hot tub, and games. The room walls are very thin and you can hear conversations in the next room. We decided not to care 😂

Great vibes, but patio furniture indoors?
I really enjoyed the hotel vibe. It was very Santa Cruz friendly. Everybody we came into contact was friendly and accommodating. My only issue was their use of patio furniture in the room. Not very comfortable to use the other room during our stay. They went through a very nice renovation process that presented a very nice hotel, but it seemed weird they would go with patio furniture in a suite like room. The shortcut to save some money and not spend the money on real in door furniture was a little perplexing.
