Wonderful

Nice hotel. They upgraded our room for free which was very nice. The bed was ok and did the job. We didn't eat breakfast there because we wanted to enjoy the Santa Cruz diner but it looked good and there were a lot of people eating. The highlight however was the valet. That guy had me laughing and he gave us great directions and options of things to do before our concert.
Always stay here and the staff is wonderufl. Clean rooms as well. Had to go to desk at 4am to ask for antiacid and they were able to accommodate my random request , love them

This was a great place to stay. The rooms were huge, very clean, hottub and pool were amazing! The pool was heated. They let us check in early and valet staff was very helpful with local spots. Will definitely be coming back here!
The staff was wonderful, especially Raichel. I loved the copious, varied breakfast with many healthy options.
The only thing I would suggest to improve is how you wash the towels or what detergent you use. The towels smell very strongly of cleaning agents.
