    Lovely, well decorated, functional rooms. Best wifi we had on Santa Cruz. The staff was incredibly helpful and promptly responded to any concerns or requests for help organizing taxis, etc. It was a great value.

    Wow! This place is newly built with all new furnishings. Very clean and spacious rooms. Beds were very comfortable. A/c worked super well. Hot water in the shower. Free drinking water available all the time. Wish we would’ve stayed more than 1 night.
