Pet friendly and the room was very clean however some of the furnishings were in poor condition. Desk chair was broken. Also there was no night stand on one side of the bed. Staff was very friendly and did offer to find another chair
The bath tub was clogged. Water past my ankles while taking a shower. There were kids running a marathon on the third floor right above my room. There was a lamp on the floor not sure why but it should have probably been on a table. The people who helped me were very helpful and nice bur the property itself needs some updates especially for tge price it was about $280 and very uncomfortable
Everything was great. Friendly staff and flexible.

The breakfast was great compared to other hotels, which don't have protein/hot food . Staff were respectful and always made sure breakfast was full. Very good location, close to both Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz mountains and monterey. one thing that needs a fixing is the hole in the shower and the black having a black stain that was hidden in the bottom of the bed. Would be a lot nicer if a pool facility was added
We had a quick family trip. Stayed two nights. The room spelled like mold. Couldn’t find where the smell was coming from. Finally I saw it was on a lamp shade. The bed was hard and the pillows were lumpy. The lobby was very clean. The elevator not so clean. Overall wont be staying here again.
