Room had a funny smell upon entry kept window open most of stay bathroom shower / tub was in poor condition clean but needing attention the bathroom door did not close without excessive force blinds in room still had damage from perhaps a dog and both hot tubs honestly were kept at such a low temperature it seems like a luke warm bath especially due to the jets poor power supply they don’t even bubble the water overall very average clean hotel for a reasonable price close to the boardwalk… be sure to extend thru your 3rd party if needed not the front desk or pay more than I felt hotel was worth on a weekday

I LOVE this hotel!! You can not beat the price of their rooms with ANY OTHER HOTEL. The staff is welcoming & friendly, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and you’re literally a 5 minute walk to the Boardwalk & sandy beaches. This is my favorite by far and I DO PLAN ON STAYING HERE AGAIN!

Room wasn't cleaned and was told housekeeping was no longer available. I spoke to the housekeeper right before. Noise at night prompted a visit to the front office to politely ask if they could keep it down. Close walk to wharf and boardwalk. I would stay again on a less busy weekend.

Weekend get away

Its walking distance to the beach. The cafe kitty corner was very good. It was conveniently located to the pier and beach. Allows dogs for a fee. I could hear the couple next door arguing and yelling at their small child. And at 10am i could hear a vacuum above us…it was suitable.

Friendly staff, Clean rooms, great location, well priced. This hotel is a stones throw from the Pier and Beach. 5 min walk. and a 2 minute drive to Downtown. Many Hotels in Santa Cruz that allow pets are not worth staying at, This hotel is always clean and is well kept. I also commend the cleaning staff.
