Amazing front desk humans!

Every member at the front desk were soooo nice and helpful. We had surf gear in an open bed truck and they let us store luggage and other items without any hassle. Accomodations were very nice and the location is spectacular. We will make this a regular stay on our surf trips.

Cute, comfy, and friendly near Santa Cruz Pier fun

Friendly front staff and comfortable, clean rooms. Really cute renovation/design. Could not have asked for a better place to stop one night in Santa Cruz. It’s walking distance to the pier - far enough to avoid crowds and loud noise but close enough for a nice stroll to the water and festivities. Would consider staying again.

I had a great stay at this hotel. My room was spacious, clean, and stylishly furnished, with a bathroom that feels like it belongs in a higher-end hotel.
