I had a delightful stay over a brief weekend trip to Santa Cruz to see a live music performance at one of the local nightclubs. I interacted with an employee (I believe that her name was Jamie), who was very helpful, interesting, and knowledgeable about the local area. I took her recommendations for a hike, which was beautiful and rewarding, and for breakfast at a nearby diner (a filling and delicious meal). I would highly recommend this hostel. Its location is exceptional.
