8/10 Good
"Not the best area, but not terrible for the price, and the pool and hot tub are open until 10pm which is nice. Seemed like a lot of "street business" was being conducted around the property and of course the usual fighting/screaming couples was ever present. Also, the sink in the bathroom was clogged and wouldn't drain properly due to who knows what was dumped down it previously, so I had to clear that myself which was a little disgusting"

"Staff was amazing. Love the fact that they have 2 bed rooms with 3 queen beds! My kids had their own bed and we had our own room. Full bath tub with shower the kids loved. Also what topped all off was that it had a stove! Minus the oven, but we were able to cook meals just like home. Also had microwave and full fridge! It is across the street from skate/basketball park and a very short walk to the Boardwalk/beach! We were able to leave the boardwalk, rest, eat, and walk back to enjoy a few more rides and walk the beach. It’s also located near plenty of stores and restaurants. This is now my new home when I visit Santa Cruz! Oh and it’s small ( not a lot of rooms), single level and you can park right outside your door!!! Trust me you won’t regret booking if you are just looking for something homely, affordable, and close to EVERYTHING!"
