Staff very courteous and accommodating, rooms were very clean. Good location. Everything we needed for an overnight stay in Santa Cruz. Walking distance to the KP Arena and downtown bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again. Not a fancy place but if you want a nice clean convenient place to stay near the Boardwalk and isn’t $300 a night then this is it.

The managers/owners(?) are welcoming and accommodating. The property is not new but they keep it clean and maintained. The continental breakfast is pretty expanded even with waffles! We have stayed here twice and plan to request this hotel in the future.

This was a fantastic location. The staff was nice and the morning breakfast options were good. Only flaw for us was the window had shutters and no curtains so with the outside hall lights our room didn’t get very dark at night. Not a deal breaker for us. It still was pretty reasonable. We Would love to stay here again.

The refrigerator in our room was so nosy all night. The mattresses so stiff and the comforters looked so dirty and worn out. To top it off, no house keeper available the entire stay.

In the heart of Santa Cruz by boardwalk. Limited areas to eat, you have to walk, cycle, drive. Property is old and front desk open @ 7:30a, closes @ 9pm so no support after that on a Thurs night. Had some spring breakers at hotel so noisy at night when they got back from bar @ 3am. Managers try to maintain hotel but it’s used, several things out of order. Very basic. Room seemed clean, AC fan was noisy. Not worth more than $100/night.
