This is one of the best hotels in the Santa Cruz area. It is tucked off the main roads and has a separate section of condos within the hotel's property that are available for long term rentals. I can only recommend this place without reservations.
Shopping Tip : Joyeria Anahi is a large, lovely, upscale jewelry store a few minutes away and has some unique semiprecious stones as well as mounted stones that are all well priced. Customers from this hotel get a free taxi ride back.
