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.

The cleanliness of the room was quite appropriate, shopping locations are close, bed properties in some ways comfortable, yet air condition unit was quite noisy, amenities not provided and parking lot quite limited.

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).

Room was missing handles on the dresser, with dirty spots on the ottoman when you come in the room and an obvious stain on the ironing board. Staff was great, Airconditioning not needed, somewhat cool. Shops nearby? Didn't shop

The check-in process was mediocre at best. We were uncharged $11 per child since they weren’t on the Expedia reservation. We asked for more pillows and they did end up being them but originally told us 4 people in room and 4 pillows saying there were no more in the hotel. Even though two of th pillows looked to be more decorative. Rooms are good. Beds okay. Shower is fine. Nothing special. Good location (close to mystery spot and the board walk and downtown). Will definitely be trying something different next time we stay in Santa Cruz.

The room was spacious and check-in was easy. They charged $20 for an hour early check-in as well. Only thing was our hair dryer didn’t work, the water temperature wasn’t very hot, and we were well aware check out was at 11am and they called us twice and when I was able to answer the phone at 10:45am they asked if we were checking out. I’ve never had that happen with a hotel stay..so, that was a little odd and felt we were being rushed out.
