Disliked: Staff & service
I arived at 4:00 pm, at check in time, my room wasn’t ready. They took my information down and said they’d let me know when it was ready( they never did ). An hour later I was furious and went to the front of thr out of control line and told them I needed my room NOW. I had been on the road for over six hours and my son had thrown up all over himself. They finally gave me my room and I went to wash his clothes and I didn’t have change . I went to the front desk to get change for the washing machine, they informed me they did not have enough change to wash and dry, but I had enough to wash. I finally had enough to wash a load of laundry than the washing machine didn’t work. The following day I called downstairs for towels, they never arrived. The morning of checkout I called to ask for extra toilet paper and they said they would send it up, 30 minutes later I still didn’t get it. I called again and they said they’ll bring it up and they never did. I had to go find a housekeeper on one of the floors to ask them for a roll of toilet paper. I have stayed at this hotel twice, this is the place that we stay every summer for our Santa Cruz trip and I will never go to this hotel again. Our experience at this hotel put a damper on our entire trip. This was the worst stay I have ever had.

We love the location of the place which is close to the beach and the Boardwalk. Please know that you need to pay for parking per day. We found multiple spiders in the bath tub during the shower which was scary. Please double check your invoice to avoid food charges that you did not make at the Bistro.

The property is in a great location, very clean and friendly staff. The pool is heated but small, max cap is 12. The parking garage is valet and only one car per room. This was a problem since we had a family suite and needed two cars.
