Nice hotel. They upgraded our room for free which was very nice. The bed was ok and did the job. We didn't eat breakfast there because we wanted to enjoy the Santa Cruz diner but it looked good and there were a lot of people eating. The highlight however was the valet. That guy had me laughing and he gave us great directions and options of things to do before our concert.

The staff was wonderful, especially Raichel. I loved the copious, varied breakfast with many healthy options. The only thing I would suggest to improve is how you wash the towels or what detergent you use. The towels smell very strongly of cleaning agents.
