I always comeback here when I visit my kid at UCSC. It’s much better than the overpriced options all over town.
Pros:

This is probably the best hotel value-wise in Santa Cruz. Always comfortable and clean, nice amenities.

Cons:

Breakfast could be better. The mandatory valet parking is annoying.

Wonderful overall stay, with very minor inconveniences.
Pros:

Overall a very wonderful experience. Wonderful staff at every turn from valet to check in to the entire cleaning staff, and everyone was so friendly and helpful with every question. The facility was very clean, and the room turnover was amazing.

Cons:

Valet only parking is a significant expense, but the valet staff are wonderful. The pillows need a little more hardness, as in I needed at least four pillows and a towel to make some proper back support. You might want to bring your pillows for better individualized comfort. The windows don't open more than a few inches, so you may need to go outside to enjoy some fresh air. Also, the shower doors would rattle super hard when I would try to open and close them, which constantly made me worried they would break, so they likely need a little oil on the hinges. Again, these are very minor details that can probably be dealt with by hotel management.

Pros:

Lots of great amenities. The pool and hot tub was nice. The breakfast was good as well. They also have a nice coffee/drink area for additional cost.

Cons:

The furniture in the lobby and sofas in the rooms need to be cleaned.
