I have stayed here several tines while visiting my UCSC student. I like the location, cleanliness, and easy parking. Recently, I needed my daughter to have a safe space away from her apartment and this place allows over 18 (instead of over 21 like others) to check in. It's a nice safe place with a good breakfast too!
