Staff was nice, rooms were clean except for the little seat by the tv where we put our luggage it was stained. Overall, nice convenient hotel right in the mist of all businesses for a layover, bed was comfortable too, and floors were clean.

The place is clean, beds comfortable (though too soft for me.) don’t pay for a balcony, it just overlooks the parking lot. The young Indian couple running the Inn are very nice.

Front desk staff very friendly. While fairly clean the furniture was damaged, poor lighting, noisy air conditioning, sink faucet so small and low - difficult to use. The bed was fairly comfortable. The fridge kept things cold. Ample parking and centrally located in town. From pictures online it was way worse than it appeared online. It was graduation weekend at UCSC so prices were sky high.

Easy parking. Staff was friendly and professional. The rooms were clean but the mattresses need an upgrade. They weren't terrible but they weren't that comfortable either. Overall, the rooms did what we needed them to do.

The location is good, close to downtown. The staff were very agreeable. The rooms are very basic. No amenities to speak of. The smell of cleaners and deodorizer is very strong. Towels and pillows were minimal but staff provided more on request. No coffee. The refrigerator is useful. The price seems very high for something so basic.

My friends and I stayed in a 2 queen bed room and it was very spacious. The motel is quiet. Bed was comfortable, but the base was made of metal and could be squeaky when you got on or off the bed. The hair dryer didn't work well so bring your own. There is no pool which was fine because it was cold and rainy. The price was very reasonable. I slept well for 3 nights there. Not a fancy place but nice and comfortable.

Checks all the basics. The room was clean and modern/ recently remodeled. Much nicer than other budget motels I've stayed at. Friendly staff. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that I can hear neighbors in the next room (which doesn't bother me).
