Room was clean, staff was nice, able to check in early for a fee but not too bad. Great if you’re going over to the boardwalk. You’re able to walk to and from the boardwalk in about 5 minutes. Would stay here again

10/10 Exceptional

Easy check-in and the staff members were so nice and helpful. Walls a bit thin but most guests were pretty quiet. It was really nice to look out the window and see the rides at the boardwalk right there and be so close to the beach. Theres coffee packets in the lobby to grab but hot cups and coffee packs in rooms would be a big bonus. Overall a good stay and will probably keep staying here any time were in the area! Easy and just the right price.

Small parking lot. Room doesn't block out outside noises well. Close to the Boardwalk and was a pretty good price for the visit.

This place is really sweet for how affordable it is. I stayed in a room in the corner (room 203) and it was very quiet + has a window that opens to a side yard area = felt more like a bedroom at home. Plus the free parking + bein per friendly + super sweet and accommodating staff. Would totally stay here again.

8/10 Very good

Incredibly convenient location for visiting the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Small room (we had a triple suite) with very little closet/storage space, but beds are comfortable and linens are clean. Quiet given the location. Towels were very old and scratchy. In short, a convenient spot for the SC boardwalk but don't expect much in the way of creature comforts while in the room.
