Location and outside were nice. Rooms not the best, didn’t have basic stuff like towels or soap but were pet friendly so that’s cool

NEVER and I mean NEVER stay here!!

Pros: They only benefit was that we had someplace to stay for the time we were in Santa Cruz. But I have to say that there was not one thing that I liked.
Cons: Where do I start!! The prices first and foremost. It is way overpriced for what they provide or should I say DON'T provide.
Location: The location was fine. And, there were plenty of restaurants nearby and you could walk to the boardwalk.
If you can call this an experience. Our room was not at all what we expected. The TV had 25 channels (NO CABLE) and every channel (some worse than others) was fuzzy with lines going through it. There were no towels, hair dryer or toiletries in the room either. The fridge that was in the room was coming off its hinges. And, the topper, which we discovered on our last night there, was that our room opened without needing a key. This was the worst stay/experience I have ever had in Santa Cruz. Not only would I not recommend this place to anyone but I will say stay as far away from this Motel as possible. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!

Very old hotel. Cleanly but poorly maintained

Cons: Maintenance and noise
From the time you enter you would notice that this is an old hotel that is poorly maintained. Stairs are not even and seem to be maintained by a handy man. Rooms have not isolation so you would hear everyone talking or coming in and our of the hall way Staff were pleasant. Bathroom and rest seem clean

OK, but for that money?

Pros: the Staff was nice.
Cons: It just need some more fixing up, and it looks like they're doing that.
Location: It was a short drive or a long walk from the boardwalk and beach.
The Place was OK, a little run down and a a few sketchy characters about, but hey, it's Santa Cruz; that just the way it is. But for the $200+ price tag I'd expect a little more.

Disgusting, poor customer service, unsafe.

The motel was disgusting (even for a budget motel), garbage in the parking lot, non-smokin room stunk of stale cigarettes so much so I had a migrane within an hour. Window lock broke, screen sliced open-couldn't sit out the room safely. Contrary to the ad no complimentary breakfast; no coffee/tea service in room or otherwise. Vending machine broken.

Expensive hotel that does not deliver

Pros: close to the boardwalk
Beds were VERY hard. Like sleeping on the carpet and the pillows were really small and thin like airline pillows. I was a skeptic about all the bad reviews but they don't lie. Overall the hotel was dirty and not comfortable. Would not return. Horrible.

NOT A PICKY PERSON BUT THIS ONE IS BAD

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet
Cons: Noisy
my husband and I don't mind staying in cheap motels but this one was the worst of all…. a lot of druggies …people coming in and out of rooms… people kept knocking on our door and calling the room to sell us drugs....it was very uncomfortable. I rather had slept in my truck…. The room stink really bad it was smoking room with no ash trays, when taking a shower the bathroom became flooded. Staff very unorganized bedding was very dirty….nice area but horrible motel

worst i've ever experienced

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel. It was dirty, loud and noisy. I was scared to leave my car outside. our peep hole was broken so we had to stick toilet paper in it, so we didn't get a breeze in the night. The door was crooked and there was a crack; we weren't sure if it was secure or not. Staff was nice, but the price of this hotel was too high for the quality. You're really only paying for location convienence. would never go there again.
