They want to nickel and dime you for everything. Do you want to check in an hour early? That’s $20, you don’t return your cheap parking pass that’s $20. The hotel was very loud. The walls are paper thin there was drywall and paint coming off the wall in the bathroom. I would never stay here again.

Well, the 12:30am knock next door from the Santa Cruz Poloice Department to vacate the property was awakening and another hour of sleep lost, then, the 6am room alarm clock went off that I did not program, but, other than that the stay was good. I have stayed here before and no problems. The staff is great, location is great, hope for some compensation? Best, Mr. Duncan

Room quality was low, bed was uncomfortable, and the pet fee’s effectively doubled the nightly stay despite not requiring anything extra from the hotel.

It was great. I've been here a couple times and love it. The only thing I would suggest is more comfortable pillows. They are too stiff.
