Wow this place sucked…TV didn’t work. Room was literally a room with just a bed. Place smelled of mold and visible mold in bathroom. Had the nerve to ask for a $200 deposit after I already paid for the room in advance. Tied up $300 bucks for one night . Could have stayed anywhere else. Women at front was rude, and I think they live in there. Limited parking. Sketchy people staying in rooms as well.

Good for short stay, stay with my wife and young daughter. Guests next door were speaking using profanity all night and we could hear everything. Also be aware that hotel requires 200$ deposit that gets returned after check out and room gets inspection. Location is good, close to everything. Kitchenette has no utensils, plates or pots. Beds a bit squishy, overall not horrible but not great either.

We stayed in the two-bedroom. The front bedroom did not have a television but the bathroom was there. The back bedroom had a television and kitchen, it also had a second door to go out but when I opened the door, at the bottom it was full of bugs and eggs, so I quickly closed it, and did not open it again. We did not drive there but the parking seemed to be accessible. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The kitchen and bathroom were unswept, and there was a large dead black bug by the refrigerator floor upon arrival. I asked the front desk to sweep the floors and they did. A strange lady knocked on the door late at night, and I was there with my daughter and I told her quietly to ignore it, although the woman knocked several times. We were able to walk back and forth to the boardwalk and a convenience store was two blocks away from the hotel, but I would not trust walking there at night. The Wi-Fi worked fine. The towels were clean, the bed was comfortable, and the shower head was nice, but the tub stopped up while showering. Although the location is convenient, I would not stay there again.

I was booked to stay in a Budget Queen room, but the guests in it extended their stay and I got upgraded to a room with the kitchenette.

The room is exactly what I needed, simple, close to the boardwalk, and a place to sleep for the night, not to mention quite inexpensive for the area.

To be more detailed though, there were a number of small things that were a bit funky:

The tv was hooked over top of the wall mount, meaning it might fall if you mistook it for a telescoping mount. Next to it was the main light for the room, which was damaged on the top of the fixture.

In the kitchenette, none of the four burners started, but the sink had great water preassure and was quick to heat. The sam went for the bathroom, where you would get hot water almost immediately, though there was some calcium build-up on the showerhead which reduced the water pressure. The shower screen itself was toen at the top, separating from the rail rings.

The mirror over the bathroom sink had some odd discoloration behind the surface, and the bedspread had a couple small dot-stains.

Again, these really didn’t bother me all that much, the room itself was comfortable enough to sleep in, and I spent most of my time walking the area, and visiting the nearby beach, boarwalk, arcade, and warf.

Likely will stay again if I need a cheap place to stay the night and be close to the action. Literally took my a max of 8 minutes to jog over to the boardwalk from my room, I loved the closeness to the action!

The location is perfect for our needs. We stayed here last year for our vacation in Santa Cruz. The management is kind. The did housekeeping and changed towels everyday. When ever we need something they can help with they take care of it! We really enjoyed how quiet it was! We've stayed there for two different years now, if we go back we'll stay there again, because we know what to expect. Enjoyed the fact that every room has a microwave and refrigerator, and a Smart TV. It was comfortable. Everyone is kind.

We love the proximity to Aldos, Pacific Ave shopping, boardwalk and the wharf. Lots of great dining close by. Never need to drive anywhere. Great walking on the river walk. When we checked in there were complimentary earplugs on the side table and we thought we were going to hear a lot of noise, otherwise why the earplugs? We never heard any noise. For a little one story Inn that is a little old we've stayed there twice and we'll stay there again.

For a cheap, quick stay, I really can't find much to complain about for the price. Staff was friendly and welcoming, check-in was quick, and you're within walking distance of a lot of what's worth seeing in Santa Cruz. Bed was clean and comfortable, got a good night's sleep. Not the fanciest, not the quietest, but if you're looking to save money you're probably not going to beat staying here.

Overall Amazing!

We absolutely adored the room! I was a bit leary as we have had not so great experiences in the area but this place was amazing! Everything was tidy and clean, no weird mold or mildew in the bathroom. Appliances were working, nothing broken. The pillows were super comfy and my teens had zero complaints! I was worried it would be noisy being so close to the street but we heard very little and we had zero loud neighbors! Everyone was super friendly and quiet. There were other families with kids as well and throughout the night we did not hear them running around. Everyone was super respectful. We were actually blown away by how great this place is, I definitely recommend!

A little on the noisy side, traffic and outside activity. They did provide earplugs in the room for the guests. A nice perk was the close proximity to the Boardwalk. A friendly staff member greeted me when I checked in. Room was very spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable.

Good location, easily walkable to the boardwalk and wharf. Small motor inn style room. The decor was dated which doesn’t bother me. The room was clean. I didn’t find the bed to be very comfortable ( I am a bit picky ). The pillows were hard and flat. The bedside lights were a new looking addition and had usb jacks which was nice but they were fluorescent and way too bright. The parking lot which is right out the door is very lit up. They had blackout curtains but light leaked out the top into the room so it was a little too bright in the room. They should put something up at the top of the curtains to fix that. All and all, it was just ok, could have been better with a few minor improvements and you are definitely paying for the location.

Our room had two queen beds in separate bedrooms, which was surprising and nice for privacy. Check in and check out were easy. The property was clean and quiet. There was a fridge, coffee-maker, and microwave, which I hadn't expected from the amenities list but enjoyed having! The shower temperature could be set to whatever I liked, with hot water available. Very good location, 10 minute walking distance to the Boardwalk or downtown restaurants.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with a kitchen, walking distance to the beach boardwalk, for a very reasonable price. It was mid-week, so we didn't hear street noise. They leave ear plugs by your bed for when it's busier. This is an old style motel, but it's clean and comfortable. It was great to have 2 separate bedrooms with doors. Only thing is- there are no kitchen supplies. I think they should leave paper towels, a small dish soap, some plastic plates, bowls and cutlery. Plus one pot and one pan. You have to bring everything if you want to eat or cook, even though there's a full kitchen stovetop, fridge, sink etc. Otherwise very good deal.

We loved this place, great staff, great location

The staff was very friendly. Great value for the money. We loved that we could walk to the boardwalk and to the wharf for dinner and to the yacht harbor for breakfast at Aldos. We didn't drive the car all weekend because we walked everywhere. The river walk was right across the street. We were a little nervous when we got into our room and there were complimentary earplugs on the night stand. We thought \"this place must get noisy at night\" but we slept great and there was never any noise except for the air conditioner. We will stay here again on our next visit to Santa Cruz. We highly recommend this motel.
