We have stayed at this location many times and we will always come back to this hotel when we stay in Santa Cruz. The owners are amazing! They are always polite and always have a smile on their face. The customer service is top tier! I have asked for a late check out a few time with no hesitation to accommodate! It’s always an amazing stay at National 9!
