10/10 Exceptional

We chose this hotel because it's a 5 min walk to the Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz. We had tickets to a concert there. It was very convention. The Chinese restaurant right across the street was very good. We had breakfast back behind at the Firefly Coffee House which was very good. The room was perfect for our one night stay. Very clean and quiet. Parking was a little tricky so I would suggest checking in during hours if you can. But it was very nice to park in their little lot and then just walk everywhere. We would stay again.

Great place in Santa Cruz

Great stay for Wharf 2 Wharf. Right by the Boardwalk and downtown Santa Cruz. Safe parking and the hotel is clean, quiet, and comfortable.

Cozy Place

This place was really nice. Check-in was easy with explaination of everything. There's a shared kitched, an ice machine, coffee machine that grinds fresh coffee beans, quaint patio, ability to rent a bicycle and it's very clean. I will stay here again.

The room reeked of bleach… We left the windows open and left a fan running and came back for five hours later and it still made both of us sick.

Nice location. Very quaint hotel. Off site parking was a couple of doors down the street but very doable. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit the Santa Cruz area.

We loved our stay. The room was clean. Fresh made cookies out daily. Courtyard to sit in with fire pits. A table with two chairs is outside each room. Great location to walk to the beach or dinner in town.
Lori, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Calvin cheerfully greeted us. The location was great for attending a concert at Kuumbwa Jazz Center. The rooms were very clean and quiet. One down side was no breakfast; but the cookies in the evening were yummy!
Gail, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked last minute as I was just passing through and needed a night. The staff is so helpful, specifically Calvin. What a gem. The room was very clean and well appointed, and the ambiance and decor are so relaxing. I felt very safe in the property with rooms located inside a beautiful courtyard. Parking was next door in a lot and very convenient. Will definitely stay here again.

Location is the reason we tried this place out. Easy 2 blocks to Downtown and yet private feeling. Rooms were large and beds lux. Great free coffee cappuccino lattes and hot cocoa anytime with an afternoon sweet in lobby. We love this spot❣️
