I like that it is close to the Boardwalk, but far enough that you don't deal with alot of noise.

Jordan at the front desk was great! We brought our puppy along with us and she made sure we were all set for our stay. The annex area almost always had non-guests lingering in the covered parking spaces at all hours of the day which made me not want to go outside alone. Other than that, we definitely enjoyed our stay.

Dear Savannah, Our hotel staff is pleased to hear your compliments about our hard working front desk staff! They work very hard, so we appreciate this feedback. I am so sorry that you did not feel comfortable being in the annex area at all hours of the day. Some of our guests use that area to smoke, so that they are away from the rooms. We also have plenty of security cameras around the property, and the front desk staff monitors them closely. However, the night shift constantly makes rounds around the entire hotel, every single space to make sure our guests are safe as well as their cars.Your safety and comfort is our #1 priority. We hope with this explanation that you are comfortable at our hotel, or you can request a room on the opposite side of the road. Our front desk staff is always 1 "0" away to help you with anything you may need. Best Regards, Sam Durrani

Got to our room and the main lamp had the shade broken. We notified the front desk and they had it fixed right away. Overall a good place to stay, centrally located, and reasonably priced.

Unsafe

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Security gate, proper lighting and security guard!
Location: Awful
Note at this location we observed several homeless people taking residence on the property, one drug injection, a drunk man just missed walking into our car ( bottle still in hand) and two "druged up giddy ladies of the evening" who we more than happy to stay!

Nice place- clean and friendly staff

Nice hotel- pet friendly- clean- gracious staff. We go to Capitola and Aptos- this hotel is close to freeway just as you enter Santa Cruz off of 17. Short drive to the beaches we go to south of Santa Cruz. For crashing- just to rest - fine- market and a few restaurants short walk- and there is always the 7-11 across the street
