I have mixed feelings. For the area, I think this place is a good choice. But the area is kind of not so great. I wish I had looked into staying in Capitola or Aptos instead because the street where most of these hotels are, is rather dumpy. I was glad it got much nicer of an area once we... More

Much better than expected for the price. I had room 222. It was spacious and had all the extras: coffee, fridge, microwave, Heater and I was pleased to find a flatscreen TV with HBO. No comedy central though. Breakfast was good enough. Cereal, coffee, juice, waffle iron, toast.

We come to Santa Cruz very often because we have a son who is attending the university in town. We are pleasantly surprised by the value, the size of our kind-bed room, and the price is inexpensive. We arrived at late evening the lady at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. The hotel rooms are located at the... More

Front desk lady- rude. Hotel rooms-Clean. Owner of the property-Liers...Please do let me explain. Me and my friend was hoping to get a good sleep-in but only to have been woken up during reinnervation with new carpets being put in on both rooms next to us. Banging, slamming on the walls and loud talking was what we herd. On a... More

Good spot on Ocean st just off the highway. Great if you're just getting into town ir if you gotta leave right away in the morning. If you're arriving late expect to have to ring the night time buzzer as the front desk isn't open all the time. Luckily the manager didn't appear to be all tired and grumpy when... More

This past weekend was my 3rd time statying at this hotel. On each visit the staff has been friendly, the room clean and orderly and all appliances working. The bed was turned down when we walked into the room making it feel warm and welcoming. It was a cool evening and the heater worked great. Our bed was comfortable and... More

Room was clean and comfortable and had very nice amenities for the price (internet access, fridge, microwave, good TV). Beds were comfortable, towels nice, shower good. Breakfast was... More

Our room literally smelled as if it was fresh-painted in the last week. It was exceptionally clean - the beds had crisp, fresh clean linens, the counters in the bathroom were granite quality and it was spotless. The breakfast area was very tight. I'm sure in the off-season this isn't a problem, but it was hard to move around without... More
