Where you can enjoy the amenities and a beautiful sunset view. This hotel has a gorgeous lobby and restaurant. It's kids and pet friendly. A family oriented hotel. I loved that they offered s'mores at the front desk. Blossom the front desk lady was really friendly. The rooms are really cute. But If you're outside looking at the rooms you would think you're in an apartment building because the walkway/hallway is open to the outside. On the other hand you can walk out your room enjoy to e view of the sunrise or sunset. The location is perfect if you plan to go to Santa Cruz beach boardwalk, it's less than 6-7 minute drive. And if you are an early bird you can find plenty of open public metered parking spots. Note: the restaurant staff. I found one server didn't treat us well. For one we were told to come and pick a table. And we found one but it hadn't been cleaned so she told us to wait at the front (when clearly nobody's even waiting at the front) everyone's just walking around. Then a couple of people came after us and they were seated right away. Was not even told go to the front. Like what? I find that rude. I give this entire experience 4 stars. It was nice but not the best. But I'd come back again.

This was a business trip so the hotel was paid for by my client. I asked them to put the charge on the card that was paying for the room but they refused. "the charge will be released when you check out". I checked out on July 9, 2026 and have yet to see this $100 come back to my card. I called several times asking for the manager but only got the front desk girls. Then a guy comes on and starts yelling at me to stop annoying the girls. he sounded like one of their boyfriends. I also reached out to the card that the charge was placed on. They "voided" the charge but again, the $100 never reappeared. As of now I have yet to get the $100 back in my account. If these people can scam me for $100. I wonder who else they've scammed and for how much? I'll never go back!

We walked in here to find food. Unfortunately, the food court only had five different places only two to choose from for food. Unfortunately, the Ramen place was a no go for us. The Taqueria Gabrielle was super good and they do a great job at how much food they put together in their food and prices are well meaning french fries meat, etc. The service was really great at the Taqueria Gabriel they do have a coffee shop here called the daily grind coffee I have to say my favorite place to see here was the bookstore. If you love books definitely drop by. It is huge. It is so nice. You could get lost in there. I really hope the community comes together and makes this place a great place that it can be for all the teenagers and young parents to come and bring their kids and go shopping . Don't forget to check out the thrift store if you're around as well ! Lots of parking and they have tons of bus stops so you're able to come with public transportation and or have plenty of places to park

The good: -- This does the job if you need a few miles of charge and have some time to spare, or if you are staying at the hotel. -- Clean and new businesses next to the hotel including a McDonald's, an Ike's and a Habit burger grill. A donut shop is across the street but see below about getting there. The bad: -- the angle of the ramp getting out of the garage all but guarantees that you will smack the bottom of your car, at least it did my Model S, and probably would for a 3 (can't remember if the X has higher clearance, and if you have the optional suspension package, maybe you can raise it up). Maybe slower speeds can prevent that, but I was going pretty slow/garage speed. -- Also, fast and distracted drivers getting off he highway right there meant that crossing the street was harrowing. Even with the light and in a crosswalk we almost got hit...twice(!) going each way. -- And then there was the sketchiness of the characters roaming around that part of town, especially across the street, but it was overall fine enough during the day.

After speaking with four different companies, I decided to go with EV Charger Expert to install my…read moreEV charger, and I highly recommend them. They provided a very competitive estimate, and the exceptional level of service and quality proved to be an outstanding value. The communication and permitting process with Kirill was excellent from start to finish. Erin handled the installation and did a phenomenal job. Erin was very knowledgeable and clearly explained every step. Erin was also very polite and courteous. He was very thoughtful about executing a high-quality, clean install, specifically ensuring there were no visible lines that would clutter our home. They took the time to do things right and make the final setup look clean and professional.

It has been close to two months since the installation and one month since the city inspection, so…read moreI feel ready to give a fair review. I needed to install my own Emporia Pro charger with a load balancer and wanted to get it done quickly and with a permit. I reached out to EV Charger Expert. I communicated with two people from the company: Kirill, the sales manager, and Erin, the electrician/installer. **The Good** Kirill is very prompt and responsive. He always answers the phone and is willing to discuss the details. He clearly knows the intricacies of EV charger installations, even in more complex situations. He was able to schedule the installation very quickly, and the work was completed on time. The city inspection was done one month later and passed without any issues. So, my primary goal was achieved: I had my charger installed, permitted, and running ASAP. **The Bad** The cost of the installation was fairly high. I paid $2,450 for installation, materials, and the permit. Since I provided my own charger, I believe the labor and other installation costs represented the majority of that amount. For this price, I expected a very high-quality job. Erin installed and set up everything within one day. Two relatively minor problems occurred. If the company had handled these issues better, I would have given them four or even five stars. **1. The load balancer antenna** My charger includes a load balancer with a small antenna. The antenna is supposed to stick out from the metal subpanel so that it can receive a Wi-Fi signal. After the installation, the antenna was hanging through a large round hole in the subpanel. It looked unfinished and, in my opinion, was both unattractive and potentially unsafe. I could not convince the installer to cover the opening, so I had to do it myself. I made a trip to Home Depot, spent about $10 on parts, and made a simple cover myself. The antenna is now secure and the opening is properly covered. Please see the before-and-after pictures. **2. Stripped subpanel screw** During the installation, one of the four screws holding the subpanel door was stripped. I considered this a safety issue. I notified both the installer and the sales manager by SMS that evening, as soon as I noticed it. The installer called me back two days later and, to put it mildly, was quite rude. He told me that it was not an emergency and that they would take care of it on the day of the inspection. On the day of the inspection, Kirill did not have the appropriate replacement hardware. I suggested using a tap and a slightly larger screw to repair the stripped hole, but he declined. Once again, I had to make a trip to a hardware store, purchase a set of taps and screws, and repair it myself. To be fair, Kirill reimbursed me $30 for the cost of the screws and taps. In total, I made several trips to a hardware store and spent several hours fixing issues that I believe should have been addressed by the installer. **Overall** The installation was completed quickly, on schedule, and passed the city inspection without any problems. Kirill was also very responsive throughout the process. However, given the high price, I expected better attention to detail and better handling of the two relatively minor issues that came up. Neither problem was particularly difficult or expensive to fix, but in both cases, I ultimately had to resolve the issue myself. For me, the installation achieved its main objective, but the quality of the finishing work and the way the problems were handled left something to be desired. For these reasons, I am giving EV Charger Expert three stars.
