This hotel had everything we needed. We had a room on the 1st floor with a king bed and jet tub. The jet tub was great for giving baths to our kids and they loved it. In the shower the curtain doesn't touch you! The toilet paper location was the only bathroom complaint I had. The room included a small... More

Thick, firm, cheap foam pillows are below the quality usually provided at HIE properties. A request for a feather or other alternative pillow was promptly addressed - with the delivery of yet another thick, firm, cheap foam one. But the property, rooms, and breakfast area were clean and well attended, and the property & staff fine overall. More

I am glad to hear that you were provided replacements quickly once you asked for them. Thank you for taking the time to share comments from your stay, I am pleased to... More

The staff are what make this perfectly situated property worth the stay. My extremely late check-in made no difference to the enthusiastic clerk who gave me gold level service despite my no-level status complete with a bag of complimentary snacks! The hotel is right off the route 1 exit and across the street from the nicest supermarket in town as... More

Great NEW hotel within a great location of this small town south of santa Cruz. Would have given this hotel a 5-star rating but had negative experience with front desk rep. Rep could not mulit-task nor had the right personality for customer service. We would of loved a "thanks for the stay" or "have a good day" but when checking... More

We were in town for a volleyball tournament and had driven from San Diego. The first night we stayed in Monterey Bay in a fancy hotel and were disappointed. The second night, we stayed here to be closer to the tournament and we were certainly happy with our whole experience. The customer service was excellent from the check in to... More

This hotel appears fairly new with a nice little indoor pool and decent HIE breakfast. The staff was friendly, too. That is all I can say that is positive. This was a very poorly designed property! We had a two room suite, but there was only a wall unit for heat and air in one room. The living room was... More

My family and I stayed here after a long, exciting day at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. We checked in about 8pm and we were relaxing in our room within 10 minutes. Since we have 3 kids, we opted for the two room suite ( two queen beds and a seperate sitting room with a pull out couch). We were very... More
