You definitely only get what you pay for.
I didn't expect a lot because the motel was so cheap so I wasn't too surprised or overly disappointed. Pros...the room was clean and the sheets fresh. Check in was quick and easy. Cons... Electrical outlets near beds were limited. The biggest disappointed was that we found no free breakfast when we were ready to leave in the morning (7:25am) and no sign posted saying the hours it would be available. I might stay there again since it was cheap and clean.

if you pay to sleep,sleep is what you should get
I have stayed here twice ,first time was great but second time was extremely disappointing. I guess they think its ok to have construction begin at 0745 on the cottage in the back which was right outside my window. nail guns, compressor, four guys yelling back and forth to one another. I was under the impression that when you pay money to sleep somewhere you get to sleep.It doesn't happen here. I consider myself ripped off

Best of the lower cost motels in Santa Cruz!
Fantastic location, very clean, and super friendly staff! This is one of the best lower cost motels in Santa Cruz. When I was searching, I was looking for cleanliness above everything else and this place hit that mark especially for the price! The bed was a bit older, everything was bolted down, but again was CLEAN, could walk bare footed with no worries... and best of all no bed bug worries!!

Best value in Santa Cruz!
Our stay was facilitated by early check-in time (starts at 1:00 pm.) Also, I loved the giant soaker tub! Our room had both a microwave and very good refrigerator. This motel was a great value at a low price for the region. The decor is dated, but the room was clean and there was adequate on-site parking, which is a huge plus. For us, the location was perfect, but others may be bothered by road noise as it is very close to the freeway and a major surface street. Overall, one of our best motel experiences in Santa Cruz.

Good basic accommodations.
The facility offered good basic accommodations that were clean and well maintained. It has no frills but everything worked. The desk attendant was very helpful with directions and information. No coffee in the room or free breakfast but the price was competitive.

Dirty and over priced.
Checking in was very difficult because the lady at the counter wouldn't give my husband a key because he was the second name on the room. check in was two hours before we got there and she said "I do have a room available for you but it isn't clean yet". Pretty sure that means there isn't a room ready. So after waiting over 5 minutes we finally get a key to a room and I decided to shower. There were towels with makeup still on them. She never told us the wifi password and there wasn't any hotel information around the room. It had a sketchy wobbly fan and the decor was being at grandmas house. The TV was staticky except for the Spanish channels. I'm amazed this hotel is even aloud to have business.

Quick family trip to Santa Cruz
Just A quick overnight trip to Santa Cruz to check out UCSC. We weren't looking for luxury or an ocean view this time. This hotel is small, centrally located, and one of the least expensive places to stay on the list. We got what we paid for. Our room was clean, parking at the motel was never a problem, and the owners were on sight, and friendly. Some improvements are in order; the decor in the room is dated, there was no refrigerator or coffee pot in the room, the bedding is not fancy, and there were no extra pillows or blankets in the room, but we did just fine without these things. We were happy with the price we paid and the value we received. Would stay here again in a similar situation. We had a car, and downtown area and beach were just a few minutes away by car.
