El Castell Motel
10/10 Excellent
" Very modern and clean. Soft comfy beds. We all got a good night sleep. Sound of the air conditioner a was nice white noise and it can also heat the room. The warm pool was perfect because all the beaches are cold. Very good price too!"
"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 property is conveniently situated near freeways, but it is quiet and easily accessible.
We had a great breakfast in the hotel which was reasonably priced.
Check in was smooth and the staff were very helpful and pleasant.
Our only complaint was that our room was not made up after the first night, prior to our second night. The staff knocked on the door to do the room, and we said we needed 5 minutes to get out for them to to the cleaning. We went away for 45 minutes, but upon our return the room had not been made up which was a disappointment as we afforded them plenty of time to clean it and make up the bed, change towels etc.
Other than that, we enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay there again.

"Within walking distance of everything.
Elevator didn't work right, kept taking me to the wrong floor, even took me to the 4th floor which is completely under renovation. Ended up using stairs the whole 3 days we were there."
