    Everything was fantastic and the view was worth every penny. I had a very well decorated room with very clean bed and a wonderful balcony, a vaulted ceiling, and an iron. The meals in the restaurant were delightful. The location was absolutely perfect and incredible as for me, near restaurants and shopping, the Municipal Wharf and Boardwalk and walking distance from the pier. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hotel was great - a 10-15 minute walking distance from a classic seaside amusement park. What's more, it was right by the beach at 1:00AM in the morning, and the pier and Santa Cruz.

    Stocked room, exceptionally comfortable beds and really friendly staff with friendly service. Marvellous location for Santa Cruz, adjacent to Close to the boardwalk and the beach, pier and boardwalk and East Cliff to watch surfers and Santa Cruz for one night on a CA coastal road trip.

    The location was marvellous, close to Cowell Beach. I really enjoyed good-sized room here with very nice 50's atmosphere, air conditioning, for example.

    Unfortunately Wi-Fi was very spotty plus the bed of mine was a little firm.

    Clean facilities in general, perfect and magnificent location to many other local attractions. Comfy bed, large bathroom and a beautiful balcony, vaulted ceiling, and an iron in the room. Worth every penny views of the ocean all around.

    Great location right on the beach with beautiful views. The pool attendant was very helpful, providing us with beach chairs and parasol to use on the sand.

    The parking fee of $24 per day for outdoor parking felt a bit steep for European tastes.
