Favorite Hotel
This is my favorite hotel in Santa Cruz because it's right on the beach, the pool area has an awesome bar and jacuzzi, and the employees are all so friendly. This time my husband and I brought the kids and the looks on the kids' faces when they saw the view out the balcony of the room was priceless!
