“This hotel strikes me as a place where urban style meets Santa Cruz cool, and it seems particularly well-suited to business trips given the event spaces and focus on location. I imagine unwinding by the heated pool after meetings, maybe grabbing something from the curated shop before heading to the nearby Boardwalk. It's the blend of work and play that feels distinctive here.”
