Gritty old Santa Cruz motel that has been flipped on the cheap. If you're not comfortable with the vibe in Santa Cruz, stay somewhere else. This is in the part of town where the working class people live and if that bothers you, you won't like it here. I always felt safe and I slept well. But don't look too closely at anything in this hotel

The hotel was comfortable and in a good location. Also loved that it was pet friendly with places to take your pet out and we always found a parking spot. Staff was nice and check in was easy. I had read reviews about the hotel being noisy but we did not think it was noisy during our stay. We slept great. Also, the other guests at the hotel were very nice and friendly. Overall a very positive experience.

We had to complain multiple times about our noisy upstairs neighbor, and show proof in person (of a video) recording of the stomping around sliding stuff across the floor until 1 a.m. The manager offered to move us rooms at 1 a.m. to which we declined because we drove 4 hours and were just trying to get some rest. He later lied to Expedia saying he offered us an upgraded room. We found mold in our hotel room but opted to avoid that issue until we left because he wasn't taking kindly to our noise complaint issue already. When I called and reported the noise at 10 something , I went and asked for bed sheets at the front desk.. I overheard him ask the man upstairs who we just complained about if he's from India too, and then started talking to him in their language. After that encounter, we still had to make another complaint about noise because it continued until 1 a.m. The manager I spoke to said the man told him he was sleeping so he doesn't know what to do, to which we said he's lying because we have a video of him and he asked us to come show him, at almost 1 a.m. I told him then and there that if I had the money to get a different room I would just leave, but it's late and I'm tired, I just wanted to rest. I barely slept and woke up at 7 so I was exhausted after driving home 4 hours away. When I was leaving I told him I barely slept and showed him photos and videos of the water puddle underneath the cooler, and told him that black mold is dangerous to be breathing.

Overall, the property was clean and well maintained, except for the dog feces at the end of the walkway. No one cleaned them up for the four days we were there. A nice area to walk the dog but no poo bags were available. All employees were friendly and helpful and responded quickly to requests.

The pool had like holes in it because in needed to be resurfaced very badly. The hot tub was not very hot. It was like a Nuke warm bath. Staff was hard to understand. Had to ask for toilet paper and towels outside. A property wasn’t bad but the place needed to be maintenance.
