We arrived Friday night & left Sunday morning. My husband woke up sick Saturday so our plans changed. I ended up shopping at Target & the Mall while he slept. The BW staff were understanding & gave us extra items we needed. Would highly recommend & we will be back.

Exactly what was needed on a late night in Santa Cruz. Clean, comfortable, could be a bit quieter. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. There is a lot of road noise until late in the evening.
