The hotel location is fantastic if the Boardwalk is your focus, literally one block away. The room was large with a sitting area. We traveled with our two kids and the sofa bed was useful. There was enough space for a twin blowup mattress too. There's a pool, although we didnt use but saw olentyy of kids wnjoying it.

This is a fairly new hotel two very short blocks from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. I can only really speak of the room because we didn’t use any of the hotel’s other amenities. The room was spacious and very clean. The bathroom and shower were also very spacious and clean. The hotel staff was fantastic. I’d definitely stay here again.

Giving a positive rate due to location very near the boardwalk and the valet staff were nice. Except from the check out little misunderstanding with the staff . For the rooms we’re about average the bed was not comfy , wish they had a breakfast buffet, parking could be free and pool area could be updated but for its location can’t beat it. Near to local store and Taqueria who (fogot /miss the chx quesidilla . )
