★★★★★

“This is the kind of place that goes over and above to make sure that you’re comfortable. They provide all of those little things that you may or may not have forgotten or may not even know that you need. Example: disposable toothbrush, slippers, q-tips, cotton pads, etc. Their communication was also excellent! We could stay at many places, but, because of the professionalism and attention to detail we will seek them out at one of their many locations in the future!!!”

“We loved our stay! Did a girls trip and staying here was the best decision we made. The bed and pillows were soo comfortable I slept 9.5hrs the first night. The location was perfect as well, we were 10mins from downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola, mins away from a beach. The kitchenette provided all the necessities including coffee and tea. Would highly recommend. Id definitely stay here again the next time im in town!”
