BEWARE
Beware…..Hotels.Com say “Pet Friendly” However, the “hotel” charges $50.00 per dog per day. I am unsure how they get away with this charge as to SB 487. The hotel was nothing special, the rooms were extremely small for 3 people, the staff were friendly and helpful. I would not return.

Bare bone on amenities, but with the price, that is expected. The coffee is available in the office and the office is not always open. Staff was very friendly. When we got there in the late afternoon, the room seemed a bit noisy, but at night, perhaps, it was because I was very tired, but my wife and I heard almost nothing and slept great. We will definitely be back.

It was a nice, quiet, 2 night stay. People were roaming around the parking lot made me uncomfortable. The coffee maker in my room didn’t work although, the lady at the desk did offer to let me in early for coffee. The room was very clean. All the amenities (except the coffee maker) were in fine condition. Comfy bed and pillows. I thought the bathroom mirror was cool. My motorcycle was safe and Noone bothered it. Thank you!

I stayed here for the Ironman event and it was perfect. It was quiet so I got great sleep, walkable to depot park, stores and places to eat. The room was recently renovated so it was so much nicer than I expected. Had a working microwave and fridge, was clean, and Bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again for my next trip to SC

We chose this hotel because it was within walking distance of the Boardwalk, and it offered jet tubs. We were pleasantly surprised at the whole property. It's super adorable, and well kept! Beautiful little hotel, nice pool area, and clean. The person handling the front desk and his wife however, made the stay very nice and comfortable. They were so friendly, and happy to help with anything you may need, cared about your stay and had pride in how they cared for the property itself. We will deffinately stay at this hotel anytime we come to the Santa Cruz area!
