Easy check in even though staff was off duty when I arrived, but Calvin emailed very clear instructions and was always quick to respond. Room was clean and comfortable- no frills but gas fireplace a plus. Only negative was that communal coffee/cappuccino machine was not working properly at 6:15 in the morning when I really needed a coffee so I had to wait until one around the corner opened! Great location

A peaceful oasis right off the downtown Santa Cruz area. The room was clean and the lighting and shelving was very thoughtful. We were missing a fridge, but there was ice in the lobby and we had a cooler as we were on a road trip. I also think guests have access to the kitchen refrigerator if needed. The courtyard was so quiet and peaceful. Comfy bed and nice to have windows that open for fresh air. Calvin was wonderful with communication - we felt well cared for here. Thank you!

This is a combination small "boutique" style hotel with residential apartments. There are no real amenities to speak of, so if you are looking for a more tailored stay I would recommend a different hotel. If you are looking for privacy and romance, I would find a different hotel. With that being said, the room was clean and the staff (although not present) was extremely helpful and quick to respond. A+ for that. The room was spacious and clean but it lacked in privacy and ambiance. This is a no fuss place. I'm a big fan of natural light and nice interior lighting. Both of which this room lacked. You couldn't open the blinds because the guy living in the building 30ft away was sitting at his computer and could see right into the room. All windows faced the main walkway so we had to keep those closed and depend on the minimal lighting in the room. Lights were also the bright bulbs and not warm. So, for me, it made a big difference in the overall comfort and ambiance. There was also a constant hint of weed in the air so if that's a huge turn off I would recommend a different hotel. I know it was for us. This is not a place to lounge for a romantic weekend. You sleep here and head out lol. Guaranteed parking is nearby and they do charge 2% for MC and 2.99% for Visa/AMEX. As far as Santa Cruz, please note that every establishment charges 4% on the bill so budget that in. It was close to restaurants and a few min from the boardwalk.

The staff upon arrival was extremely helpful and courteous. The property was fairly clean, but overall I was a bit disappointed with the room and the quality for the price. The pillows were terrible and the amenities were lacking for the money. No hair dryer even in the room. The room was small and lots of noise from the room above us. We payed over 100 dollars more to stay at this hotel from another one we had stayed before and sadly the other one was a way better option for the price. Very sad to say that was the case.
