Not For Everyone Very Basic No Frills Good Deal

The best part was that they do have a dedicated "front desk" person on staff 24 hours as I had to check in after midnight. Location is very convenient to the beach and at a much cheaper price than surrounding hotels can be. Other than that it is BASIC accommodation at best and the overall condition of the room made me feel like things weren't quite as clean as they could be and I was dubious about actually sleeping under the covers. There was no way I was going to take a shower in that bathroom - tiny and dingy with poor lighting. No issues occurred, so if "basic-basic" is fine by you then you have find your extremely good deal for the area.

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.
