“This is a surprisingly good value so close to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, with the added bonus of on-site parking and walkable access to downtown. It struck me as a solid base for exploring the area; yes, it's on a main road, but the trade-off for that is sheer convenience. I appreciate that it seems family-friendly and that repeat guests speak highly of it.”
