We had a great day. Parking looked a little tight in the photos when booking. But we were able to park our large SUV up at the top in the back perfectly. The room was clean and spacious. At the front desk, the gentleman was able to upgrade us to an ocean view room, for an affordable cost. It was so nice to be able just to walk to the wharf and the boardwalk. Very short, walk to boardwalk and wharf. Nice hotel we will definitely be staying here again.

The towels were dirty and folded. The bathroom door didn’t close and in the bathroom where the water is thrown, the handle was loose, as if broken.

Just for the night , it’s fine. A peek at the beach from windows of two of the rooms on second floor during the day; there are intensely bright lights outside the door during the night. The bed is uncomfortable. The upside: the parking, security cameras around the property, though we can’t speak for whether they’re monitored or not, And the front desk lady was sweet.

Front desk was wonderful! Allowed me to park car in lot and check in early. Called me when room was actually ready. Great location easy walk to everything. I even was able to walk to downtown Santa Cruz from location. This is not a luxury hotel but was clean, safe, and quiet. Great rate and perfect for an overnight getaway to the ocean. Highly recommend!

Uncomfortable bed: It was supposed to be a double, but it sat atop a smaller base and the sides of the bed gave out if you laid on the edges. It was not comfortable for two people.

This hotel was so close and central to all the most important spots in Santa Cruz. I parked my car there for three days and used the e bike rental. It can get congested

Great price for a great location

3nd time here this year. It's affordable, it's close to the boardwalk, it's clean and seems to be getting nicer every time I stay. I am looking forward to visiting again.

The floor in the room was not clean upon entry. Left our feet dirty. Some of the plugs/lights did not work properly. Otherwise the staff was friendly and it was a perfect location!

Will be back again!

Quick check in, the free parking was a good perk! The short walk to the boardwalk was perfect. The room is smaller, but it’s not a bad thing! It was clean and quiet.

Great location!

Like most hotels in Santa Cruz, this one is older too. Location was fantastic! Parked the car and walked the 2 days we were there! Staff was super nice. Room was very spacious and clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable. Towels were super small and the sitting chairs were stained. I would recommend to just remove those chairs. Fridge didn't really get too cold but cold enough. Overall, definitely would stay there again due to the great location and kind staff.
