Recently, an international brand hotel at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Although the sparrows are small, they have all the internal organs, swimming and fitness, the restaurant only serves buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner are not open, and the room does not have free mineral water.

My stay here was absolutely fantanstic! The staff was outstanstznding, starting right from the beginning with Andrew running down the road to direct me in when I couldnt find the entrance after a long drive. The room was clean and so pretty! Balconies overlook the boardwalk and pier.... housekeeping and maintenence staff were awesome and even the owner/managers made it a point to make you feel welcome! The Thai food is excellent! Dont miss the Falalfel Hut right down the street either!!!! I had so much fun I extended a few times!!!! Definitely a touch of class on the beach! Dont miss this gem!!!

My husband and I very much enjoyed our two night stay; our 4th floor room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. We appreciated the large walk-in shower and the fact that we could open the window. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast room and lobby are bright and spacious. The hotel is close to a number of our favorite Santa Cruz destinations. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Never had to write this bad of a review. Terrible experience for the what I spent on. First front reception impression was bad. 2 receptionists, one on the phone helping a lady with an issue. She seemed very stressed. The gentleman helping the rest of us making a line. When it was my turn, my card wouldnt go through. When the lady receptionist was done with the call she seemed like she was about to get a mental breakdown. He then decided to try my card on her side and was successfully processed. He didn’t explain or gave me any instructions about the key. Key needed to work the elevators and power in the rooms I had to figure it out on my own. He Didn’t offer or explained parking, I went back after we unloaded our stuff drove around and found out there was no place to park. The receptionist pretty much just processed my card. I stayed 3 nights and no one went into my room to take trash or pick up the dirty towels. Only thing they did was put a set of clean towels the night before my check out day and that’s about it. I was given an accessible room. I did not ask for one. A light on a night stand were unplugged. Found multiple lotto tickets inside the pull out bed. Toilet paper handle was broken. By the way…..what kind of bar closes at 8? The bartender didn’t seem professional or welcoming. When checking out I was asked how I wanted my receipt. On paper or email. I told her I rather get an email. I checked out around 8am and it’s 435pm and I haven’t received my email. The only people I will say were amazing at their job were the valet guys. They were friendly, helpful and did their job.
