Just what we were looking for for a trip to the Santa Cruz area. Family wasn’t planning on spending much time in the hotel, so we just needed a place with free parking, a decent free breakfast, pool and space in the room. All of that was taken care of here.

The most horrible hotel experience I have ever had
Everything about the stay there was a complete nightmare!!! The manager is horrible. The staff is horrible. They were lying to us, giving us the runaround and even keyed into our room without even a knock. Staff watched my husband walk out of the room and as soon as he got out of sight, the staff member keyed right in while I was in there waiting for my husband! No knock it was absolutely horrifying!
