Due to so many 'negative'...

Liked: Room 235 was clean and had 'hardwood floors', which is good since this hotel does 'allow dogs', etc... Shower worked well; tub 'drained well' :-) TV was excellent with 'huge selection of channels', as well as a 'great picture' :-) Check-in staff person was very attentive. The 'night desk' person also responded quickly to my 'complaint about a barking dog' in adjoining room. This property is also only a 'short walk' from Pacific Ave, downtown Santa Cruz. There is 'sufficient parking' on premises, so that was definitely a 'plus'.
Disliked: Wish this hotel 'did not allow dogs' or any pets. We'd requested a 'quiet room', but hotel unfortunately put person(s) with a 'dog' in nearby room :-( They should be more attentive when placing people with pets away from those requesting 'quiet'. We had a problem with 'loud barking dog' in adjoining room. The 'night desk' person did quickly respond to my 'complaint' and we only heard the 'dog barking' a few more times after the owners were spoken to by 'staff member'. Since this hotel is located at intersection of Ocean St and Soquel Ave. the traffic noise is quite loud, especially when motorcyclists and other 'loud vehicles' rev it up, etc... Emergency vehicles going through intersection with 'sirens blaring' also can be disturbing in the 'middle of the night' :-( Check-out person was busy 'taking a reservation' when I was trying to leave hotel; she did not bother putting that person on 'Hold' to let me complete my transaction, which I did not appreciate.
