Room was clean and updated. Service was great. I only stayed one night to attend a local music event. Not a place I'd bring a lady but fir a guy, no sweat. The surrounding area us a bit sketchy after dark. My stay was fine.

Stress free.

Everything was cool. The pillows are kinda not really pillows. I reccomend bringing one if you are particular about pillows. Owners were friendly. Which is not common in santa cruz.
