It was very affordable, tho that may be because it was off season. In season it probably is still reasonable considering it is only a 5 minute walk to the main beach. Excellent mexican food right across the street and other choices with in a 1-20 minute relaxed stroll Clearly dated, but well maintained and everything that we needed worked well

Photos of site better than reality

Pros: Near Beach Boardwalk. Free parking available. Cons: Older facility and looks and feels it, too. If you are on the upper level, you have a lot of stairs to climb to get to your room depending on where you are located. Bathroom design is poor (the door opens right into the toilet). The towels in the bathroom are really unacceptable (very thin and leave lint all over you). I mean, my dog's towels are thicker and more absorbent than the towels provided. I wish I had brought my own. They can do so much better without spending a lot on this front. One of the electrical receptacles near the bed wasn't working.

Perfect getaway spot to enjoy Santa Cruz

Easy check in/out great location. Walking distance to everything. You don't come to Santa Cruz to stay in the room. Water pressure is great, everything works fine Only negative is the ac/heater unit is incredibly loud and when it kicks on at 3am will absolutely wake you. Also the outside lights are very bright and if you need a dark room to sleep you might have an issue even with the blinds closed.
