Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room somehow as a weird alarm clock on the nightstand, and probably, the previous guest set the alarm at 6am, which waked me up in the early morning... It was super annoying. It almost ruined my day. Additionally, the front desk service is consistently disappointing. Only the woman serving in the morning is friendly; the others are pretty rude actually. Don't come for your happy holidays!

This hotel was awesome! Easy walk to the boardwalk. The hot breakfast was a major plus- eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, breads, cereal, fruit. Saved a lot of time and money having those options when waking up. I was originally going to book a balcony suite, but decided to save $100 and just get a regular king room. Then I was delighted when I arrived with my daughter, the host at the desk offered to upgrade us to balcony suite for free! Just had to wait an extra 15 minutes for it to be ready. That was the best surprise ever and made our stay a totally awesome experience. It was nice having breakfast on the patio of our room with the sea breeze. Will return to this hotel next time in Santa Cruz!
