Santa Cruz Hotel Deals
"The price was okay for the days I stayed. But they don’t offer tours or amenities. They do have a restaurant with not enough staff, or waiter experience. Hotel staff at the lobby were very helpful and polite. Overall I would suggest updating some of the information regarding this hotel."
"Great place for the price. Only issue I had was the music blaring one of two nights across the street - all night, from 9pm to 6am. Not the hotels fault; but frustrating. Would stay again though"
"Small but beautiful and very much in the center"
