"We love Santa Cruz - the hotel is nice but too sterile feeling - the girl that checked us in didn’t even smile she was very cold and sterile. We won’t stay here again and we thought it did have room service, a spa for massages and a pool but I saw none of that and was told nothing when we checked in there were no brochures or staff suggesting fun things to do - the guy that brought coffee and towels was great and happy-"
