Very clean rooms. TV channels work. Shampoo provided in shower. Desk lady is highly friendly and nice, quite reasonable too. AC works. Minifridge available with microwave. Down sides: shower head is fixed not a hose, large shower is spacious sliding door though. Metal box under beds is annoyin at times if you accidently kick it getting in out of bed. Outside the railing walk ways are packed around the ceiling with huge spider webs with large spiders. If tall watch your head while getting to your room. They need to clear the webs. Other than that tho its a fantastic motel. ##### MICHAEL Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcus May 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing service and comfortable beds The the service was amazing, the manager was so helpful, I needed downstairs room, and Sabrina the manger upgraded our room, so we can have downstairs room, at no extra charge.

Shower didn’t looked scrubbed. Only gave one towel. the bed was very uncomfortable along with pillows. Walls are really thin so could hear upstairs and neighbors. Parking was limited so I suggest you don’t leave once you have parking. Location was good 10-15 walk to boardwalk. 711 across street. Overall it was okay. It was just one night and we just needed sleep. ##### Sandra Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Jun 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly stuff reasonable price walking distance to the boardwalk Nice and clean pet friendly everything was very convenient for me and my family I definitely if I'm going to Santa Cruz I will stay with them again ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faithy Sep 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a close walk to the beach.
