Pros +

  • The beds and bed linens were comfortable.
  • Leaving.
  • Location to UCSC is only 4 miles. Close to everything. Very clean and staffs are friendly

Cons -

  • Room and bathroom outdated
  • There were extra charges when I arrived at the hotel. They charged me for the parking space. The parking space should be included as complementary service. That's ridiculous.
  • Wifi did not work Gym was not open Loud ?buzzing sound? her as soon as you laid your head down on the bed to go to sleep. It appears as if the sound was coming from the inner walls.

The bed and beddings are nice, soft and clean but the pillows although soft are too thick, hurt my neck, ended up sleeping without it.
