this place was phenomenal for my work trip to Santa Cruz. The location was great, I didn't have any trouble finding parking on the street (in November) and it was an incredibly comfortable place to be based. the kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, knives, etc... and even had a dishwasher! It also had a very large sink, which was lovely.

    I was in Santa Cruz for the Ironman 70. 3 race. I couldn't be happier with the location. It is right across the street from Athlete Village and the transition area. The hotel itself is nice with renovated bathroom, free parking, daily housekeeping, and good beds. It's a short stroll to the beach and Boardwalk. Would stay again at this property.

    I really liked how they turned a villa in to very good quality cozy accomodation. It was a 10 minute walk partly along the river to town for restaurants and shopping.

    The building looks very old and kind of dirty… they need to paint the whole building. Even the stairs looks like that we are in old house somewhere from the village. When we went to check in the front desk receptionist looks like mean to me… no smiles on her face at all. Doesn’t know how to greet the customers.
