Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had beautiful yet simple rooms with a cool and hip vibe in the Grove, though a bit small. The service was friendly, with some standout staff members and free berry slushes for the kids. Despite occasional noise and access issues, the location was interesting with an upgraded modern vibe. Dining was good but lacked variety. The facilities were satisfactory.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were modern and well-lit, with stunning glass walls and attractive curtains that let in beautiful light. The combination of minimalist design with natural wood elements gave the room a stylish and cozy feel. The service was top-notch, although there were some issues with overcharging and missed drink coupons. The location was awesome, with convenient access to free shuttles to the beach. The dining experience was a bit inadequate, but the facilities were excellent overall.
The hotel has a unique style with a cozy and clean reception desk, aiming for a hip atmosphere with a paradox theme. The location is very convenient with striking decor, close to the beach and downtown Santa Cruz, albeit encountering some aggressive individuals. Dining experiences are fabulous, and the hotel offers resort-style facilities with a variety of amenities.
The hotel has stunning wood-floored rooms that are clean and decorated in a modern and relaxing style. While the proximity to the loud elevator shaft was a downside, overall, the rooms were nicely done.
