Room was clean but the room next door had the tv on and it was blasting all night like it was in my room. I couldn’t even watch my tv.

I didn't expect a lot because the motel was so cheap so I wasn't too surprised or overly disappointed. Pros...the room was clean and the sheets fresh. Check in was quick and easy. Cons... Electrical outlets near beds were limited. The biggest disappointed was that we found no free breakfast when we were ready to leave in the morning (7:25am) and no sign posted saying the hours it would be available. I might stay there again since it was cheap and clean.

We were very pleased with our stay.Choosing a motel online is sometimes difficult,not knowing how it looks in person.From the beginning of our stay,till the end,it was a great experience.....

I have stayed here twice ,first time was great but second time was extremely disappointing. I guess they think its ok to have construction begin at 0745 on the cottage in the back which was right outside my window. nail guns, compressor, four guys yelling back and forth to one another. I was under the impression that when you pay money to sleep somewhere you get to sleep.It doesn't happen here. I consider myself ripped off

Fantastic location, very clean, and super friendly staff! This is one of the best lower cost motels in Santa Cruz. When I was searching, I was looking for cleanliness above everything else and this place hit that mark especially for the price! The bed was a bit older, everything was bolted down, but again was CLEAN, could walk bare footed with no worries... and best of all no bed bug worries!!

Our stay was facilitated by early check-in time (starts at 1:00 pm.) Also, I loved the giant soaker tub! Our room had both a microwave and very good refrigerator. This motel was a great value at a low price for the region. The decor is dated, but the room was clean and there was adequate on-site parking, which is a huge plus. For us, the location was perfect, but others may be bothered by road noise as it is very close to the freeway and a major surface street. Overall, one of our best motel experiences in Santa Cruz.

The attendant was Impeccable. Checked in and got to my room within 3 minutes. I forgot my Charger for my phone and the Attendant had one there.

The facility offered good basic accommodations that were clean and well maintained. It has no frills but everything worked. The desk attendant was very helpful with directions and information. No coffee in the room or free breakfast but the price was competitive.

Checking in was very difficult because the lady at the counter wouldn't give my husband a key because he was the second name on the room. check in was two hours before we got there and she said "I do have a room available for you but it isn't clean yet". Pretty sure that means there isn't a room ready. So after waiting over 5 minutes we finally get a key to a room and I decided to shower. There were towels with makeup still on them. She never told us the wifi password and there wasn't any hotel information around the room. It had a sketchy wobbly fan and the decor was being at grandmas house. The TV was staticky except for the Spanish channels. I'm amazed this hotel is even aloud to have business.

This motel is inexpensive and the amenities reflect that. It was clean and the staff were welcoming and helpful so I feel I got my money's worth. In addition, the location is very convenient.

This is the type of hotel you would stay in for a night stop on the way to some place else. The hotel wasn't my first choice when searching in the area (most hotels in the area were booked due to an event passing through town); but I can say it certainly wasn't a bad choice. The hotel was acceptable for the price and the staff were friendly and accommodating.
The room was clean and comfortable, although it obviously hadn't been remodeled in over a decade. There was a faint odor of cigarettes and mildew in our room, but the room was clean. The odor was most likely just from aged carpets and paint. Certainly nothing that opening the window for a bit didn't help cure.

Not fancy,, hotel ok .no heated pool :(! ITs all right for the price you pay!
5.0
The room was clean( non-smoking) though not fancy, the front desk staff were friendly and nice and the bed was very comfortable and the motel was quiet. We left in the morning feeling refreshed and I was glad for the extra cash in my wallet as it was reasonably priced. It's not a high-end Hilton but it's definitely NOT a dump either. It was a pleasure to stay there. I'll stay there next time I'm in Santa Cruz. No complaints.

The room has some smell.The heating was too loud. No shampoo and body lotion provided.Internet slow. But the front desk person was very nice and friendly.
