    I loved the bumper cars! Haven't done that in decades.

    I loved the bumper cars! Haven't done that in decades. There's a train tour that stops at the boardwalk. The Santa Clara river is nearby which has a sunny walkway next to it. I was able to walk from my motel to the Boardwalk. Stopped for lunch at a family-owned Mexican restaurant. Homey and affordable.

    Unfortunately the rides were closed but the restaurants were open across on the wharf. It was nice that you could sit inside and outside. Outside they had the tiki heaters going and it made it have a nice warm atmosphere while eating.

    Love Santa Cruz and San Jose area.

    Love Santa Cruz and San Jose area. Have done all the wonderful touristy things in the past. Beautiful scenery fun all around. This trip was just college hunting for my grandson. He finally narrowed to University of Washington or UC Santa Cruz , he decided on Santa Cruz.

    Fantastic view and location (walking distance to downtown, the wharf, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and Natural Bridges State Park). We enjoyed the pool and the free loaner bicycles.

    Room was basic but clean enough. It's very close to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk; you could walk to the boardwalk in about 10 minutes. The pool is indoors which was nice because the kids could swim even though it was a little chilly outside.
