I like very nice place
Israel, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Matthew, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Dan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was a convenient and fairly well-maintained hotel, wasn't a bad choice for a short trip. A few things could use some updating, but the wall-mounted dispensers for personal care products like soap & shampoo instead of small bottles was neat.
Noah, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It is quiet. Room was clean. Nice staff. Perfect distance to the beach and restaurants.
Thad, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I usually take notes on hotels as part of a travel log, but forgot to do so in this case. All I remember is that the room was nice and clean and quiet. I enjoyed my one-night stay here.
B, 1-night trip

Ten minute walk to the boardwalk. Front desk staff was kind and communicative. Rooms were clean and parking was easy. Allowed to check in early for a small fee.

deborah, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
