Santa Cruz stay
We love staying here . Great views close enough to the beach , walking trails etc We weren’t aware of the construction but that was fine The office woman was absolutely wonderful! Huge family with kids running wild and parents not even making a fake attempt at keeping them in line was the only negative

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was nice. We would ask for a room two rooms to the left of ours as ours was a little noisy. We had a nice balcony, but with NO chairs outside to sit on. Why? Wi-fi was sketchy and didn't work. Breakfast was good, but would have preferred some sugar-free waffle syrup and butter that was not so hard and some plain yogurt (not flavored).
