this place was phenomenal for my work trip to Santa Cruz. The location was great, I didn't have any trouble finding parking on the street (in November) and it was an incredibly comfortable place to be based. the kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, knives, etc... and even had a dishwasher! It also had a very large sink, which was lovely.

    The manager was very friendly and helpful. He came to inspect the window screen and blinds which were faulty and assured our safety and that he was on hand 24/7 should we have any concerns. The room was recently refurbished and very clean. Excellent location within 15 minute walk to the beach.
