The room was comfortable and quiet. The hotel is basic but fine for one or two nights. It’s centrally located with free parking and a nice perk was the self-serve station to make coffee drinks in the front office.

Recently renovated and very clean. Comfy and quiet. However, the renovations are a lil bit slapdash. The towel bar in my room was broken and held in place by some gel like glue, for ex. The bed was firm and the sheets and towels crisp. I enjoy a rough towel. Not even kidding. The body wash may or may not resemble dish soap. Sensitive skin folks you already know to bring your own. I’d stay here again.

Room was nice and clean, just had a bit of a smell when we came in so we had to open the windows. Wifi didn’t work. AC kept turning on and off during our 2nd night. But place was good if you’re on a budget.

We stayed here after a day at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Check-in was quick and painless. The motel was full and there was still adequate parking. The A/C worked well enough. There are several food options and a convenience store within an easy walk. The Beach Hut Deli on the corner makes a mighty fine sandwich, and you can even have a beer while you wait. The only ding on this motel is that the bathroom was a bit tired. The sink was down to steel in a couple of spots and please repair the stripped spline in the shower temperature control.

It was a decent hotel. The staff was great. There was a bad smell in the room, like a sewer smell. The room was overall decent but definitely needs some updates and a paint job or good cleaning. Comfy bed
