The hotel has a convenient location, close to downtown Santa Cruz and within walking distance to the boardwalk. The rooms, although probably clean, felt somewhat unkempt with stains on towels and a dusty floor. The service was a mix of rudeness and friendliness, and the dining options were limited. The location is a highlight, but cleanliness and service could be improved.

The hotel was unfortunately not as expected. The rooms were very small, with thin walls that allowed noise from neighboring rooms. The bathroom had mildew in the tub and corners, making it unpleasant. The street-facing location was noisy, and the lack of privacy from the windows was a drawback.
