"Wonderful. I’ve never had a nicer time in Santa Cruz."

"Sorry I missed breakfast but the parking was below with easy access to the hotel. "

"Everything is good, but the room is old with old appliances. Neighbors were loud through midnights, which was a down side. Two queen beds were split into two rooms, which is different. Parking was a little hard since it’s on a downhill, but overall, it was a good experience. Check in and out was easy. Staff (Sam) was cool."

"My 6 year old son complained that the towels stink. Good thing I had a clean beach towel to use. Parking was super limited. I didn’t want to drive anywhere else or I’ll lose my parking. Other than that, you’re just paying for the location and how close it is to the boardwalk."

"The room was nice and clean and a really good size. Everything worked well and the beds were pretty comfy. However, check in was terrible. I was talking to someone on a computer screen that could not hear me. There were cleaners yelling to each other across the parking lot and there didn't seem to be anyone on site over night. Other guest were making tons of noise and even arguing outside and no staff to call for help. I would have definitely stayed again if it weren't for all the noise. "

"The front desk was so nice, upgraded our room. Room was ocean view, clean and beds were comfortable. Great experience. "

"This is a great spot, very close to the pier, and the price is fantastic. It has a pool and hot tub, and the rooms are nice.L"

"The guy at the front desk is very helpful, he was really nice. Room was ok, but it’s clean."

"Good price and a nice unit. We had a two room suite which was also priced reasonably. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Surprisingly quiet for being near the road, an a nice short walk to the boardwalk. If you get a unit with a kitchenette make sure to bring your own stuff. They have a stove, microwave, and fridge but no pots, pans, utensils, oil, salt, etc. (we borrowed some from a friend). was great to make our own breakfast each morning and having a place to stash and warm up leftovers though."
