“The Aqua Pacific in Santa Cruz presents a dichotomy: modern interiors meet the grit of its surroundings. Its Mediterranean-style architecture is a refreshing touch, while the indoor heated pool distinguishes it from other hotels at this price point. I appreciate the staff's dedication, particularly given some guest concerns about noise and dated fixtures.”
