Great location with great parking. We enjoyed the coffee shops that were in walking distance and the beach is literally just down the street. I had hoped for a bathtub to relax in, but it's just a shower. There are soaps in case you forget yours. The bed was very comfortable, with plenty of blankets and pillows. The electric space heater kept us very cozy & warm. Santa Cruz is so amazing. This is a good spot to stay. If you are a light sleeper or like late night TV you might want a different place, the dog next door got upset when the people on the TV show in my room started arguing. It made me laugh, but I had to change what I was watching.
