We will visit this hotel again. The self-parking is great, we liked the breakfast and our room had a microwave and mini-fridge. It's a convenient location with fast food and gas stations nearby and a quick drive to UC Santa Cruz. Clean, quiet and well-run too.

The person who checked us in was AMAZING! The pool was too cold and very small. Would have been nice if there was a hot tub. The beds are comfortable. (Not the pull out bed, it was horrible, they need to upgrade the mattress pads in those). I wasn’t happy that we only had one tv when we were staying in the suite room that should have had 2- the cable service kept glitching in and out off and on. We’ve stayed here twice and we will still stay again. Even with the couple of downs about this hotel, you definitely can’t beat the price.
