We chose this hotel because the description led us to believe that it was very near the boardwalk. It isn't. It's about a mile walk each way. It was good to exceed 10,000 steps, but we walked 3 1/2 miles getting to the boardwalk and back. The hotel was very clean and our king room was plenty large. The bed was so-so and the pillows like rocks. I did not sleep well. The people working there were very pleasant and we were able to park our car free. Dogs can stay for an extra $30 each, which is about average. It was fine for one night, but not longer.

Great hotel/great value

I have nothing negative to say this hotel was amazing. Great value,staff is great. My room was clean plenty of free parking. We got into town a little early to enjoy the beach. The staff let me park there before I checked in. about one block from Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which was very convenient.

The hotel is in a great spot. Walking distance to many places I frequent. Front desk personnel was friendly. Now the bad news…The room was so very outdated, and no extra lock from the inside on the door that a hotel employee can’t unlock made it feel a bit unsafe. The bed was not comfortable whatsoever. The overwhelming smell of bleach inside this room the whole time made me queasy. At least they used bleach to clean. It was so old and outdated inside this room that I definitely had to wear shoes the whole time because the carpet was unsatisfactory. I really wish hotels would get rid of carpet. It smells and harbors germs. Ick! Probably won’t be staying here again.
