It's not a resort so don't have high expectations...just a nice place to get away for the weekend. I was pleasantly surprised opening the door to our room the first time. After comparing other hotels in Santa Cruz and the surrounding areas, I was a little reluctant but decided that for the same price, it was more logical to stay close to all the attractions rather than driving an additional 30 minutes just to get to and from. It was about a mile from the boardwalk, wharf and a nice drive to The Mystery Spot (a must go). The room was clean with a spacious bathroom, nicely decorated, fridge, big tv and vanity. Pool area was relaxing and the front desk was very friendly. $154 for a double queen room that was booked through a website that was split so complain about the price all you want but anything cheaper will be a dump. Overall, it was a great stay and would book with them again if we ever revisit Santa Cruz.
