Reasonably clean and a great location a couple blocks from the Boardwalk. All on street parking is restricted to permit holders, so there is not enough parking. Reasonable price for the location. It is an older small hotel but OKAY for the area. ##### Mary Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica Apr 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed very much of our 2 nights stay at this place. Staff were very polite and helpful, we arrived about 2 hrs earlier than expected for check-in, and still were able to get a room. The room was perfect for us, with a small area inside that we can park our three bikes. We walked about 12 minutes to Broadwalk and wharf. ##### Jessica ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location. Parking is available but limited and the room is clean. Only complaint is the curtains are to short and don’t close Al the way so at night if lights are on you can see inside the room ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla Apr 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice ##### Kayla Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney Sep 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Typical “motel” property in Santa Cruz.

I will definitely be going back into that place. the only thing needs is to make the sink little bit bigger. that's all. other thant that, everything are nice and very close to the beach.I love the place. I will give them five stars and my hsband and I will go back the place again.. ##### BLESSILE Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Patricia Apr 7, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service #### I wouldn’t stay here again Front office man was very rude. We asked for a room on the first floor and he said one was available, but he gave us a second floor room. When we questioned it he got mad. Our room looked “renovated” but no counter space in the bathroom or racks. I wouldn’t stay here again. There’s a lot of other hotels to choose from. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Giselle Aug 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities There's a good chance you won't get to park in the parking lot. When we arrived it was full. We were given a parking permit and a dedicated spot. We could see the back part of our car from our room window if we stuck our head out of the window. The faucet in the bathroom only had scalding hot water the whole time so we had to use the shower to wash our hands or face. There aren't any windows in the separate rooms and only a thin sheet and thin fuzzy blanket. No extra pillows. Pre-packaged soap, lotion, shampoo. Super thin towels. No decorations, lamps (only bright overhead lighting). The beds weren't very comfy and our loud neighbor decided it was ok to party with their door open. It is updated and probably less than a 5 minutes walk to the Boardwalk, but we probably wouldn't stay here again. ##### Giselle Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gregory Dec 26, 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities We arrived at the property and the receptionist spoke very little English and had a difficult time checking me in. Asking twice for my license and credit card information. Then again the next day they needed my credit card again since the first time 'didn't work'. This property was already prepaid through Expedia, too. Then when my family returned from surfing in 55 degree water, there was NO hot water. First they said it was due to the rain storm, which was the day before (and the hot water I was told was working in the morning). They said someone would be there in 15 minutes to fix it. An hour later there was no repair, and so we left for dinner salty and cold. To top it off, the TV did not work the first night. I asked for a credit for the inconvenience and was told twice that the owner would contact me in 5-7 days. After two weeks, no reply. With all the other similar hotels in the same neighborhood I would NOT recommend this one for the poor service. ##### Gregory ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luis Jun 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### You won’t be disappointed Me my family and friends have made this hotel our 1st choice when traveling to Santa Cruz, you can’t beat the price and conveniently close to board walk. And the staff is great. ##### Luis Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### felix May 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Love it ##### felix Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Terry Michael May 30, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Lousy service, limited parking, no room service unless requested & no notice that you needed to do so. ##### Terry Michael Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa May 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We thought this was a very nice place to stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are very nice and the pool is heated which is nice after a long day at the boardwalk which is only maybe a 5 min walk away. The cons- it's a bit noisy. Which didn't bother us but I can see how it might bother some. There's no elevator so be prepared for that with bahs. Parking. They will give you a permit to park in the area whoch is awesome! Just make a ure someone stays in the car while you check in so you dont get a ticket like we did Overall, we'd definitely stay here again! ##### Vanessa Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### daniel May 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was AWESOME!!!!!! ##### daniel Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesus May 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Jesus Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer Apr 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff is great.

The floor was a mess, I even found pills on the floor! Also, the bathroom had an awful sewage smell that was making us sick. We were not sure if the bedding had been changed/washed as it had stains, and so did the towels. This place is not worth the money! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Terri Apr 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great value. Room recently updated - rare find in Santa Cruz. I assume it was a moderate budget but they got maximized results. Lots of space in the room. Movable cube ottomans were a cute and functional part of the new look. Plenty of desktop, drawer and hanging space. Fridge micro. Designer was talented in function and aesthetic. Santa Cruz always has limited parking. Yes, there is a very, very small parking lot. A parking permit was provided, permitted street parking was just as convenient as the lot. The hotel has cameras watching parking both on property and off. Front desk offered to walk us out to locate a spot but it wasn’t needed because there was well marked space. Coming and going was much easier from the street than the lot. True even though we were there on a very busy weekend. I wouldn’t be discouraged by comments that say “there is no room in the parking lot”. So what. There is better parking on the street. It is true that regular outside noise penetrated into our room. Both upstairs and outside normal conversations and movement were surprisingly loud. It was a little distracting while trying to work in the room but didn’t keep us awake at night. If this is something you are very sensitive to then it might be a problem for you. Easy 10 min walk to boardwalk and pier (aka restaurants/shopping). Perfect location. Front desk was available and responsive. I will stay here again and will recommend to others. ##### Terri Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew Apr 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cute little hotel, nice suite, the bed in our room was not great arrive early to guarantee an on site parking spot. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica Apr 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Loews Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Loews-Hollywood-Hotel.h790158.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h42520139.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-1-Hotel-West-Hollywood.h35872776.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-Hotel-Water-Playground.h19662.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Los Angeles International](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h28110.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-San-Diego-Marina.h24394.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sheraton-Gateway-Los-Angeles-Hotel.h12287.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Westin-Anaheim-Resort.h47019139.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Stovalls-Inn.h13592.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-InterContinental-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h11567151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hyatt-House-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Center.h14786168.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h13771.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Palms Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Desert-Palms-Hotel-Suites.h1571.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Theme Park Entrance](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Theme-Park-Entrance.h11476917.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Hotel & Suites Anaheim Resort Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort-Area.h34780325.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Marriott-Hotel.h12035.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
