The couple that runs the place have done a great job of making sure it is comfortable and clean. The flowers everywhere are wonderful. So, don't expect Marriott, however, for the convenience and price, you can't go wrong. ##### Theresa Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anthony Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The room was basic, but very clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that the odorizer they use when cleaning the rooms is overpowering. Way too overdone and the smell never goes away. It was bad enough that I might not stay there again. ##### Anthony Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very clean.

The room was clean, but way too much pine sol on floor, gave a headache. But told owner and she was very nice about it. The people above were super loud, but not hotels fault. ##### Allyson Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tui Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was clean. It was quite warm when I got in, but the AC worked fine. The staff were friendly. The parking lot was small, but had plenty of spaces while I was there. The main reason I went for this hotel was location. It's right off Highway 1, near downtown Santa Cruz, & only a 10-15 min drive to Aptos where I had an event. I wouldn't say much is walking distance, but only a short drive. I did miss the turn the first time, but once I figured it out it was very easy to find. The pool was open, but I didn't use it. My room had a bathtub, which made me very happy, since I live in a small apartment with a shower only. I would have preferred an electric water kettle, to drip coffee maker, as I did not have that kind of time. That being said, it's nice that it was provided, along with a fridge and microwave so I could make my trip more affordable and have leftovers from yummy The Red Apple Café. ##### Tui Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Sheraton-Park-Hotel-At-The-Anaheim-Resort.h3775.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Anaheim](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hilton-Anaheim.h9.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott at Anaheim Resort/Convention Cntr](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Cntr.h9476.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 Int'l Airport](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) > > [Anaheim Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Suites-Hotel.h34780325.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) > > [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) > > [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) > > [Anaheim Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Marriott-Hotel.h12035.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
