I’d stay again!
Loved the space.
Breakfast was delicious
Pool and hot tub were nice.
Fireside marshmallow making was yummy (but beware you have to pay $30 for 1 hour… that felt steep… likely wouldn’t do that again… took away 1 star for that and the fact I bought my own materials because they ran out. Seemed like it would’ve been free for that reason).
The shower was clogged but they fixed it right away. Driving distance to great food and the boardwalk.
Great place for business or for families.

The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. Location was only a few blocks from the boardwalk and a number of excellent local dining spots. My family and I had an unforgettable stay, and will absolutely stay here again the next time we're visiting Santa Cruz.
