I went to Santa Cruz for a wedding and felt peaceful and cozy in the space, a nice respite from festivities. The neighborhood is lovely, a short walk to Cliff Ave and a great view, with surfers out on the water during the day. Lots of great restaurants, breweries, and shops close by. It's a family neighborhood, very quiet, with lovely houses ranging from cute cottages to big designer homes along the water. Excellent stay. I hope to go back.
