** The location is fantastic (most hotels on Santa Cruz are very central) and there’s free drinking water (which is a huge must for me when travelling) ** Also had hot water (but it takes about 5-10 minutes to heat up) ** clean towels every other night was fab ** air con was fantastic

It's perfectly serviceable accommodation, at a reasonable price. The location is close to amenities, but quiet nevertheless.

“Would stay here again! close to everything.”
I had the corner room looking out to the street- lots of light and great view. The terrace was also right outside my room door so it felt like I a huge room. There was a full kitchen that everyone had access to, which was helpful to keep snack and beer cold. Women who runs the hotel was very helpful and kind. Right on the main street, 2 minutes from the pier, grocery store and everything that you would want to do and need.
