Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig. Wir hatten ein Schlafzimmer und ein Wohnbereich, in dem ein Schreibtisch und eine Couch stand. Die Betten waren besquem und das Zimmer war gut abzudunkeln (wir waren mit einem Einjährigen unterwegs). Die Einrichtung (auch in der Hotellobby) war sehr schön. Der Fitnessraum war sehr gut und 24/7 nutzbar. Das Frühstück war typisch amerikanisch, aber gut. Die Lage war prima für uns. Wir haben nahegelegene Strände und Santa Cruz besucht. Supermärkte und andere Shops, wie Macys sind in der Nähe.

Cons:

Das Plastikbesteck und Pappgeschirr beim Frühstück war fragwürdig.

Location! Price! Staff!
Pros:

Location! Staff! Wasn't noisy at all, and I was on the lower level! Even on the weekend it was quiet. Fitness room is small but got the job done. The breakfast was great! I never ran out of hot water on any of the days! Walking distance to the mall, department stores, convenient stores etc..id definitely will be returning! 10/10!

Cons:

Can't think of a single thing!! 🙂
