This was a terrible motel and I will never stay here again. I suggest anyone who is looking into this motel to stay away from it as well. The only good thing about it is that it is within walking distance of the boardwalk. I used to live this same neighborhood of the beach flats, about 2-3 blocks away, while... More

We stayed here for two nights. It was July 4th so our options were limited with our budget. The place is not very clean and the decor is really dated. TV is VERY old. Way worse than any motel 6 I've stayed in. Location was great and within walking distance of the boardwalk. Staff were not friendly at all and... More

This place really has not much going for it; the rooms are small, the furniture is broken or worn, there are hardly any lightbulbs that work, and the door did not close properly. Santa Cruz is a popular holiday spot, and rooms may be hard to come by. The motel has a conveniant property, the board walk is within walking... More
