Waffle iron in addition to continental breakfast. Nice pool. Room was well-decorated, although some paint needs touched up and rust needs removed from the drains.
Friendly staff, very knowledgeable and friendly. Grounds were very well taken care of. You couldn’t get a better place for the price anywhere in Santa Cruz
Too noisy during the night but staff was wonderful and very accommodating to anything you needed

Inexpensive. Nice Location.
If I were to guess, I would say that this was a dilapidated property that was recently purchased and quickly renovated.
It isn't perfect, but it's cheap and the staff are friendly.
The really nice thing about this place is the location. It's a 5 minute walk to Maitreya Retreat, Enterprise Rent-a-car, and Santa Cruz Diner.
