“I think this property smartly combines the convenience of a stocked kitchenette with a location close to both the beach and Santa Cruz's attractions. I noted that they offer a pet-friendly environment, which is a distinct advantage in a coastal setting. I believe the fact that it's a non-smoking facility also contributes positively to the guest experience.”
