On our roadtrip from vancouver island, down the coast to california, at the beginning of May 2013, we visited Santa Cruz along the way. We decided to pick this hotel because of it's great location.

Located directly across the street from the wharf, beach, Boardwalk, shops and several good restaurants, plus a small grocery/liquor store and a coffee shop are just below the inn.
