“The hotel sits remarkably close to the boardwalk, an ideal location that balances lively access with a sense of quiet safety. While some rooms have had reports of chemical odors, the staff's kindness and the appreciated breakfast, especially the waffle station, create a welcoming atmosphere for families exploring Santa Cruz; for those sensitive to strong cleaning agents, it may be worth checking on the ventilation.”
