We got there late and wanted to get some water from the vending machine but it only took cash. Would be great if they modernized the machines. It was good for the price and shortness of visit as we were there to visit ucsc.

The jacuzzi tub was nice! The outside can be loud but the door does a really good job of blocking out the sound of traffic.

Mattresses softer than we like, but that's personal preference. Breakfast was more than we expected - bagels, toast, cereal, waffles, yogurt, fruit, biscuits, gravy and beverages.

An older motel that's been renovated and nicely maintained. Helpful, polite staff. Clean room. At least a few sketchy in the immediate area. Pretty sure a drug dealer stayed in the room next door to mine.
