We were a group of 3 friends looking for a place to spend 2 nights near Santa Cruz. The room suited our needs - had 2 comfy beds, lots of pillows, a couch, small table w/ bar stools, mini fridge, microwave and a private bathroom w/ plenty of towels. The space had a nice vibe, was clean and was equipped with the essentials. Check in/out was easy and fully self service with a combination lock on the front door. The town of Davenport is quaint with smaller private beaches nearby. The hosts put together a binder with lots of helpful tourist info (ideas for places to see and restaurants to try).
Things to note if you stay in this suite:
- The tallest person in our group was 5’5” - not very tall at all. Even us shorter gals felt constricted at times due to the angle/slope of the ceilings in the main space and the bathroom. It is not possible to fully enjoy the entire square footage of the space since you won’t be able to stand up straight if you stand too close to the walls.
- The room rate was very reasonable compared to what other hosts and hotels charge per night closer to Santa Cruz.
- That said, I feel the $100 cleaning fee is extremely steep considering the small size of the space and the fact that it does not have a kitchen. The cleaning fee almost offsets the money you save on the room rate.
