We thought this was a very nice place to stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are very nice and the pool is heated which is nice after a long day at the boardwalk which is only maybe a 5 min walk away. The cons- it's a bit noisy. Which didn't bother us but I can see how it might bother some. There's no elevator so be prepared for that with bahs. Parking. They will give you a permit to park in the area whoch is awesome! Just make a ure someone stays in the car while you check in so you dont get a ticket like we did Overall, we'd definitely stay here again!

Great location. Parking is available but limited and the room is clean. Only complaint is the curtains are to short and don’t close Al the way so at night if lights are on you can see inside the room

Stinky dirty place
The location was great; however, the room was not properly cleaned. The floor was a mess, I even found pills on the floor! Also, the bathroom had an awful sewage smell that was making us sick. We were not sure if the bedding had been changed/washed as it had stains, and so did the towels. This place is not worth the money!

Great value. Room recently updated - rare find in Santa Cruz. I assume it was a moderate budget but they got maximized results. Lots of space in the room. Movable cube ottomans were a cute and functional part of the new look. Plenty of desktop, drawer and hanging space. Fridge micro. Designer was talented in function and aesthetic. Santa Cruz always has limited parking. Yes, there is a very, very small parking lot. A parking permit was provided, permitted street parking was just as convenient as the lot. The hotel has cameras watching parking both on property and off. Front desk offered to walk us out to locate a spot but it wasn’t needed because there was well marked space. Coming and going was much easier from the street than the lot. True even though we were there on a very busy weekend. I wouldn’t be discouraged by comments that say “there is no room in the parking lot”. So what. There is better parking on the street. It is true that regular outside noise penetrated into our room. Both upstairs and outside normal conversations and movement were surprisingly loud. It was a little distracting while trying to work in the room but didn’t keep us awake at night. If this is something you are very sensitive to then it might be a problem for you. Easy 10 min walk to boardwalk and pier (aka restaurants/shopping). Perfect location. Front desk was available and responsive. I will stay here again and will recommend to others.

We enjoyed very much of our 2 nights stay at this place. Staff were very polite and helpful, we arrived about 2 hrs earlier than expected for check-in, and still were able to get a room. The room was perfect for us, with a small area inside that we can park our three bikes. We walked about 12 minutes to Broadwalk and wharf.

I wouldn’t stay here again
Front office man was very rude. We asked for a room on the first floor and he said one was available, but he gave us a second floor room. When we questioned it he got mad. Our room looked “renovated” but no counter space in the bathroom or racks. I wouldn’t stay here again. There’s a lot of other hotels to choose from.
