One thing I really appreciate is how they go above and beyond — I’ve arrived as late as 1 a.m., and they’ve called to make sure I was still coming, which shows great customer service. Sometimes I show up with two cars (mine and my son’s), and the man at the front desk always says it’s fine and never makes a big deal about it. The rooms are clean, it’s in a safe area, and every room even has its own balcony. It’s honestly one of the best affordable hotels in Santa Cruz. Other places nearby have issues, but here the staff truly cares. I’ve had small maintenance issues in the past, and they were fixed right away. Overall, great people, great service, and a comfortable place to stay! ##### Cruz Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henry Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Over all really enjoyed staying here very clean ##### Henry Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicholas Jul 4, 2025 Disliked: Amenities Not the hotel’s fault, but the folks in the room next to me were loud until really late and it made for poor sleep.

The back of the hotel over looks private residents who's yards are just packed with literal trash. The walls were dirty and there were unknown dirty splashes on the walls in the bathroom. The only positive thing I have to say is that the rooms themselves were very large . ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trice Dec 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love staying here.
