Very good

This hotel was so close and central to all the most important spots in Santa Cruz. I parked my car there for three days and used the e bike rental. It can get congested
3nd time here this year. It's affordable, it's close to the boardwalk, it's clean and seems to be getting nicer every time I stay.
I am looking forward to visiting again.

The floor in the room was not clean upon entry. Left our feet dirty. Some of the plugs/lights did not work properly. Otherwise the staff was friendly and it was a perfect location!
Quick check in, the free parking was a good perk! The short walk to the boardwalk was perfect. The room is smaller, but it’s not a bad thing! It was clean and quiet.
Like most hotels in Santa Cruz, this one is older too. Location was fantastic! Parked the car and walked the 2 days we were there! Staff was super nice. Room was very spacious and clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable. Towels were super small and the sitting chairs were stained. I would recommend to just remove those chairs. Fridge didn't really get too cold but cold enough.
Overall, definitely would stay there again due to the great location and kind staff.
Great stay! Our room is upstairs and had a great view of the ocean! Two minute walk to the pier and Beach… the taco place across the street is so good for a quick lunch or dinner. The tacos were incredible.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
If you want to stay at a place that is walking distance to the Boardwalk and pier, this is a suitable place. However, don't expect to have updated amenities and lot's of space inside the room and parking lot. Motel is old and worn down, but they do keep it clean. The owner or front desk service is very nice. We didn't have any issues.
Just came down for a couple days It was nice and close to the water nice and quiet on a nice quiet street.. And close to walking everywhere around.. The price point was really been expensive as well
Ili had arrive late and must have looked homeless to the keeper. Earlier I had been in a violent car accident was luck to come out just looking homeless. No matter to here. She was very welcoming. Loaned me a phone charger too. They don't run a Hilton or huge business hotel. But the run a well kept place to vacation in Santa Cruz or shelter somebody who needed a place at a very reasonable price. In that way they are 5 stars in my mind.
