Good location, felt safe. Rooms are older but decent. Front desk staff were friendly. Price was a little too high for this hotel.

Selection of breakfast foods was limited. Waffle mix was watery and didn’t make good waffles. Attendant complained when she had to refill milk. Wish there was fresh brewed coffe, not concentrate

My boyfriend and I stayed here for an early anniversary trip and it was a lovely room with a very comfortable Queen Bed. At one point we had called for towels and they showed up within minutes! Excellent service, staff, breakfast, and an all around lovely stay. Definitely would stay here again on future trips to Santa Cruz!

I always think BW has the best breakfasts. Since COVID I realize why you can’t have the full breakfast and things have had to change but you still offered a good variety of food.I was very happy with the selection. It was very clean and that is very important to me. It was so nice to have breakfast included.

I was a little concerned with my mom being a elderly lady having to walk up the stairs because there wasn’t a elevator but I realize I should of asked to be on the bottom floor. Overall I was super happy.

Breakfast was very good value for price

Room had a bit of musty smell. (almost like it had smoke in room that cleaning products tried to cover up.) Bedding was wrinkled but bed was very comfortable.

Breakfast. Comfortable bed, bathtub. Great accommodations

Location is right off a busy intersection. Loud and difficult to leave the area because too many traffic that you have to yield to. But coming back is okay.

Friendly staff, breakfast had a good spread and no hold ups whatsoever.

Location was too far to walk to boardwalk and kinda pricey for a small room but I knew all this before so no big deal.

Staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of hot water for showers. Coffee maker/refrigerator/microwave were provided. We expected more street noise than what we heard, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall a nice convenient stay for our quick trip to visit the UC Santa Cruz campus.

The only drawback was the loud bathroom fan (ours as well as those in the neighboring rooms), which switch on automatically with the bathroom light.

It was quite and had alot of privacy. It was also very clean

The parking was very little. There wasn't much and the spots were so tight we could barely get out of ours cars and my boyfriend has a small car.
