The furnitures are ok but the arrangement seems off.. The mirror is halfway covered by the tv, the wallpapers are peeling off, the shower creates a noise the moment you turn it on. but on the bright side, the staff are nice and the place is clean and smells good.

We will visit this hotel again. The self-parking is great, we liked the breakfast and our room had a microwave and mini-fridge. It's a convenient location with fast food and gas stations nearby and a quick drive to UC Santa Cruz. Clean, quiet and well-run too.
