Great value and stay for our first trip to Santa Cruz! Check in was easy, the place is cozy but clean and had everything we needed. Also heated up quick which was nice. Didn’t explore nearby location but close to highway and 10-15min drive from many places/hikes. Nice to have patio and washer/dryer but didn’t use. Close to road so had some road noise/voices people walking by, didn’t hear the train, but a white noise machine balanced that out so no issues sleeping and quiet at night time.
