Located beachfront in Santa Cruz, this "retro"-style, "minimalist" hotel (renovated in 2008) finds a solid fan base for its "central location within walking distance to almost everything", its "views of the Pacific Ocean" from rooms with private balconies, free WiFi and iPod docks, and a staff that "responds quickly"; but a handful warns against staying on the "noisy" lower floors and is further "annoyed" by the valet-only parking.

Location was great! Everything was in walking distance.

The staff was very warm and friendly the entire time. The room was very nice with the balcony facing the ocean. Rooms were stocked with all that a person could need. Elevators were placed throughout the hotel, which made it easy to find ones way to the room. ...read more
