Great location. Parking is available but limited and the room is clean. Only complaint is the curtains are to short and don’t close Al the way so at night if lights are on you can see inside the room

Typical “motel” property in Santa Cruz. Run down and no frills. But clean and a comfortable bed in a great location near boardwalk.

We enjoyed very much of our 2 nights stay at this place. Staff were very polite and helpful, we arrived about 2 hrs earlier than expected for check-in, and still were able to get a room. The room was perfect for us, with a small area inside that we can park our three bikes. We walked about 12 minutes to Broadwalk and wharf.

The location was a five minute walk to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The bathroom glass walk in shower was my favorite feature. Although the room was extremely small it was very clean and comfy bed! I would stay here again next time I visit Santa Cruz!!

The place looks better in pictures. Definitely outdated outside and needs work. Room inside was updated and clean. We were there for a Friday night and there was a lot of late night foot traffic and people being very loud, up to 4 in the morning.

We thought this was a very nice place to stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are very nice and the pool is heated which is nice after a long day at the boardwalk which is only maybe a 5 min walk away. The cons- it's a bit noisy. Which didn't bother us but I can see how it might bother some. There's no elevator so be prepared for that with bahs. Parking. They will give you a permit to park in the area whoch is awesome! Just make a ure someone stays in the car while you check in so you dont get a ticket like we did Overall, we'd definitely stay here again!
