Will be coming back again!
This inn is so charming! Exactly as pictured. You can’t adjust the A/C. But there is a heater. If you get hot flashes, sleeping with the windows open this time of year suffices. Not sure if they have fans. Walking distance to the beach. Pillows and bed were surprisingly comfortable. I have back and neck issues and slept like a baby. Most other motels I’ve stayed at you have to let the water run for forever to heat. But not here! Also, amazing water pressure. Mini fridge with freezer. Microwave and mini coffee maker. Extra towels in the hallway armoire- super convenient. Close to the mall (and target/cvs/Walgreens).

Perfect Central Santa Cruz Motel.
This is a very well kept motel. It is apparent that the owners and staff take great care in thinking of their guests. My room was comfortable and very clean. The entire motel was clean and well cared for as were the small grounds. I will stay there again and recommend to friends. Very affordable.
Side room with microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, iron and desk. Sunny, airy and welcoming.
Corner of room with convenient table.
I had just gotten up so comfortable bed not made.
Hard to get a good picture of the bathroom. Very clean. Shower comes with shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispenser. Towels were thick and cozy.

I liked that the furniture and room contents were rustic and gently worn like the city of Santa Cruz.
