Thanksgiving visit

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Dec 1, 2016via mobile
Unexpectedly we ended up here when our other hotel had problems with our reservations
We were treated very well liked the breakfast room though selections never changed
Parking is very limited across the street so no close spaces near your rooms
Quiet clean and well maintained rooms
Would stay here again
Date of stay: November 2016
Trip type: Traveled as a couple

The place is very nice. It has a wonderful location near the beach. Everything is within a decent walk and its quiet. Stayed here for just a night but wished we had time to stay longer. The location is perfect for a longer stay to be able to ealk around Santa Cruz and really get to see the city. Thank you guys for a great time. I will be back.

The only good thing to say is that the hotel is walking distance to the municipal pier and Santa Cruz beach. There are other options.

While we are glad that you felt our location was convenient for you, we are disappointed that we weren't able to knock it out of the park for you. Thanks for letting us know your feedback. We hope you will give us another try.

Sincerely,
Hotel Management

We always stay here. Our family walks to the Boardwalk and is across the street from the Wharf.
It is within walking distance of downtown too. For the price it is great. Free breakfast is always nice for the kids.

The location of the room is not the best but the room with jacuzzi was roomy & clean. Perfect location if you want to stay near the beach. I will go back to HJ on my next visit to Santa Cruz.. I highly recommend.
