Beautiful hotel near the Santa Cruz beach for wonderful staycation using our 2 - 50K and 40K Free Night Certificates and 2 Suite Night Awards that were expiring. Point Saver redemption 86.4K points for 2 nights, peak summer. Suite Night Awards approved and room 534 is the best 1 bedroom suite in the hotel. All the hotel rooms have glass wall to the corridor, so being at the end with less traffic affords more privacy. The room was generous in size and we loved room 534. Bathroom on the smaller side. The pool had a fun party vibe and great for kids. We noticed they were updating with beautiful teak tree stump tables and new lounge chairs. Coffee maker in room with Starbucks. Our room had a mini frig and microwave. We were fortunate to meet Melissa, the Guest Experience Mgr and she was welcoming and told us more about the new owners mission to create an amazing stay for guests. She offered us a cabana that is normally $100. per hour. Please reach out to her for your next stay. Elite breakfast includes $12. credit per person per day for a breakfast entree. Hours are generous 7am-11am. Most entrees are $17-$20. so there will be some spend. Use it or lose it per day. One time F&B credit of $10. can also be used for breakfast or bar, etc. Got 4 bottle water at check in. Glass bottle in the room to use at the water dispensers. Ice machine on first floor. Parking is $10. daily fee, but they generously waived. Requested early check in and while they said it most likely will not be available, we were able to check in at 11:45 am. Late check out is 4 pm and we were granted 4:30pm. This will be our go to staycation hotel for great service, elite benefits, great location and pool experience.
