Location is perfect!!! Only thing that was bad is parking! If you can’t find parking in the lot they have extra in the alley way which was kind of sketchy. But besides that everything was great!!

I enjoyed my stay! Very clean room and staff was very friendly and even let us check in early! Only downside was the parking and if you fail to get a spot you have to park in a alleyway behind.However, if you get a spot, its in a very walkable spot! 15 minutes away from downtown walking distance & 3 mins from boardwalk! Overall great, enjoyed it.

Staff never did room service for the 5 day/4 night stay we were there. The parking situation is awful when I recommend parking behind the hotel because of it-unless you want your car dinged or hit or boxed in by another car!! Each night during our stay we heard a large boom noise (Like, late at night) and it was quite annoying. Not to say it’s the notes fault but forewarning, potentially. While I enjoyed the quick walk to the boardwalk and yummy Mexican restaurant nearby, and the fact the beds were comfy, I still feel this isn’t going to be my top choice next time staying in Santa Cruz. I felt unimportant and unseen as a guest. If that means anything at all to you, I’d look into the place across the street for a bit more money.

Very close to the beach and boardwalk which is why we chose it. VERY loud street noise and fireworks right behind the hotel. The pool is cold and so small they should take it out and add parking which is tight. The ice maker was not working. The breakfast is decent and the fridge in the room works well. The workers were nice. We chose it for location which is perfect.

Not highly recommended

Ok, I’m going to be honest, this place is ghetto, the pictures on the website are very deceiving. I wasn’t expecting a 5 star hotel but this place made me feel gross! They need to invest money in this place, update the paint job and the rooms, the restroom is so small that you can’t open the door all the way if you are sitting on the toilet. The parking is awful! If there are no more parking spaces in the parking lot, you have to park in the back of the alley and there are no windows for you to be able to check on your car. This place is owned and operated by foreigners, Indian people, and as most of us know, they don’t really care about the upkeep of their property. Ice machine was broken, so you had to get ice in the office, well they were scooping ice out of an ice chest. I was so grossed out by that, soda machine was also broken. The breakfast was also horrible, I left to Jack in the box, there was only waffles, boiled eggs, which someone had already peeled, gross! And a bunch of sausages! That was all, and the tables and chairs where you sit down to eat breakfast were dirty. The 2 gentlemen at the check in desk were very nice. This place just needs some upgrades. The rooms were clean but smelled like bleach. It just seems that whoever owns this property does not have any money to make improvements. Pay the extra money to stay at a better motel, if possible.
