A lot of attractions near by
Near the Pier
Friendly staff who came out late on Christmas Eve to let me in . Great to be in Santa Cruz again
The location was great. It was near the beach and the pier but most important near my daughter and grandson. They also a dog friendly, which was essential to us The place was nice. And definitely great for the price. Everything else around there is twice as much.
Close to the boardwalk
Location was decent and linens were cleab. TV was good.
The location was fine. Only 10 minutes walking distance from the Boardwalk and 10 minutes driving distance from restaurants and other attractions.
Location noise level
No breakfast the office wasn't even open for coffee even tho they offered it we wait tell 10am and they still where not open
Very comfortable, quiet and cozy
It’s cheap clean and the walls are concrete so you don’t hear nothing
Yes. Very nice. Excellent.
Nice well located motel
Nothing…The room was very outdated It smelled like mold Linoleum floors were worn out Tile bathroom, white film all over the tile The TV stand and nightstands were 1970s The whole place needs painting There’s cracks in between the walls and the woodwork where I’m sure bugs will come out at night… this place is not fit for the average American citizen All of the blogs I read or fake news this place is nowhere near clean
Is pretty close to Boardwalk
I frequently stay here. It's clean, quiet, located near the beach and a good value for my money. AND they have an updated coffee maker in the room.
