Absolutely terrible!

Nothing. This place is terrible. And the staff is extremely rude.

Right when you pull into the place you get bad vibes. It looks NOTHING like the pictures posted on booking. There were people living out of the rooms sitting out in their vans. Very trashy. The spot next to us had garbage everywhere on the porch. There were cigarettes everywhere. Just the air in the room felt gross. I very kindly asked if he would give me a refund to which he was very rude and told me no. I can’t believe I spent $333. This was for my daughters bday. What a terrible experience. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!

Over priced for the low standard of accommodation.

The check in was smooth.

The motel is old and dated. Room smelt moldy, furniture and fittings are old and the bathroom was also a little tired and the coffee machine and fridge are located in the bathroom. The shower does not have a tray, only a curtain to keep in the spray. We could not open the bedroom curtains as the other guests are looking directly into the room. The area is not so good as it is not near the beach or other places of interest in Santa Cruz.

It was ok not awsome but definitely not bad !!

The person who helped me at front desk was very kind and friendly 😊 check in was a breeze. The room was very clean the ac worked very good.

Unfortunately we had a room with 2 double beds for 2 Adults and 2 children, and doubles are just a tad small for 2 people would have preferred at least a queen. My pillow was just ok should have brought my own. Bed itself wasn't bad just small.I want to give a great review for there friendliness and cleanliness but I had a rough night sleep in that small bed

Avoid this place.

Staff was cordial. TV worked. Not much else to like.

This place is horrible and old. Heater unit blew tepid air. Control buttons were busted or poked out. Sink basin was dirty and stopper was busted. Shower was tiny and hard to get into and ran either cold or scalding. Shower head could not be adjusted because it was out of reach for a normal-sized person. Access to plug for coffee-maker was impossible as it was blocked by a heavy piece of furniture. Furniture old and dingey. Very noisy from street and nearby partiers. Non-smoking room stank of cigarette stale smoke.

Passable

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff, was nice. The surrounding area was clean and well kept

That I had to listen to family argue in the parking lot right outside my room, at 2am in the morning. Lots of yelling and cursing. Did not make for a good night sleep

It is a nice, clean hotel that was good for a quick last minute trip.

The room was very clean and the staff was friendly. It was a short drive away from everything we wanted to do in Santa Cruz.

The area around the hotel is not very quiet so there was a far amount of noise, but this isn’t the hotels fault. Also the bed and pillows were not very comfortable.

Staff was better than any other locations I’ve stayed in on this trip. I stayed in 5 different hotels so far, and this was the BEST!!

Nice service but a run down hotel

it was easy to get to and an easy check-in. The front desk manager was very kind.

The property is beat. Peeling paint, old dirty fixtures, uncomfortable beds, and mattresses that need to be retired. Although the rooms were spacious, they were very very old. This place could use a facelift
