We have stayed here multiple times- right across the street from the ocean, but not in the crazy hectic area with the parties . The property is recently updated and the rooms are so clean, modern and comfortable. Very easy walk to the lighthouse to watch the sun set, and the wharf is just a block away. We love this hotel!

Cute, comfy, and friendly near Santa Cruz Pier fun

Friendly front staff and comfortable, clean rooms. Really cute renovation/design. Could not have asked for a better place to stop one night in Santa Cruz. It’s walking distance to the pier - far enough to avoid crowds and loud noise but close enough for a nice stroll to the water and festivities. Would consider staying again.
