As a Hilton Diamond, Hertz Presidents Club Member & Marriott VIP who travel 200+ nights and recently disabled but afforded the best accommodations the world has to offer. However Sara & her team are amazing this hostel is run better & more efficiently than most anyone in the hospitalilty business. I not only highly recommend but cordially invite you to stay as often as you can at this delightful location over any hotel or air bnb in Santa Cruz CA.
