Christmas Trip

This is a great hotel close to the beach/boardwalk in Santa Cruz. Unfortunately it rained alot while I was there so I couldn’t enjoy the hot tub but the property is well maintained. The only criticism I have is the lack of choice of coffee. They have Kuerigs but only buy Costco bold roast-I drink light or medium roast & would have brought my own if I knew

Santa Cruz

dog friendly but barely. You’re not allowed to leave your dog in any scenario so if you have dinner plans you better hope you can also bring your dogs. And they make a big deal about noise ahead of time to scare you a little too by telling you it’s a zero tolerance policy you have to sign a waver for. Just feels really uncomfortable.

I did not like the ancient jacuzzi tubs on the third floor. Hard to bath my kids in it! Also the sketchy drunk neighbors that offered to babysit my kids was unpleasant to say the least lol. and don't expect the front desk staff to have change for the overpriced laundry machines...

Pet owners- this place is more dog tolerant than dog friendly. There is a $30 non refundable surcharge to bring your animal and they can’t be left alone in the room. So no using the pool or hot tub as pets aren’t allowed there either. It is a clean and comfy property, but I wouldn’t bring my pet again.
