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!

Nice place to stay at.
This is one better hotels that I have had the pleasure to stay at. The only complaint would be our room was a little on the hot side at night. Besides that it was a pleasure to stay.

No cable TV
Hotel had minimal staff but they were friendly. The room wasn’t very clean. There was mold in the shower and hair. No cable TV. The thing available was YouTube and Freevee.I had to plug the phone in to call the front desk. No fresh coffee in the morning, just a Keurig in the room. Will not stay here again

Gritty old Santa Cruz motel that has been flipped on the cheap. If you're not comfortable with the vibe in Santa Cruz, stay somewhere else. This is in the part of town where the working class people live and if that bothers you, you won't like it here. I always felt safe and I slept well. But don't look too closely at anything in this hotel

The hotel was comfortable and in a good location. Also loved that it was pet friendly with places to take your pet out and we always found a parking spot. Staff was nice and check in was easy. I had read reviews about the hotel being noisy but we did not think it was noisy during our stay. We slept great. Also, the other guests at the hotel were very nice and friendly. Overall a very positive experience.
