Hotels in Soquel Avenue Corridior

"Really good value for the price. No frills but clean and comfortable. Well kept property. Easy, friendly check-in. Window in my room was screened and could be opened for fresh air, which is rare and appreciated. Good shower. The one complaint I have is the same one I have for every budget hotel: WAY too much febreeze or whatever spray is used to “freshen” the bed covers. It’s overpowering and nauseating (in my opinion)…hence my appreciation for the openable window."

"One TV in the room didn't work. We got woken up from a fire alarm one night, and had no instructions from the staff on what to do. Jets in the hot tub didn't work when we tried to turn them on. However, the staff were great, and the room was good. The location was pretty good."

"I booked this hotel specifically because the website advertised it as pet friendly — that was the deciding factor. What I didn’t see anywhere in the listing was any mention of a $100 pet fee for a single night. That’s a significant charge that deserves to be upfront, not buried or absent entirely. I travel with my emotional support animal, and in my experience, most accommodations either waive the pet fee for ESAs or at least have a clear, transparent policy. When I checked in and was told about the charge, I was caught completely off guard. When I explained that my animal is a registered ESA, the front desk staff were polite but firm — no exceptions. The room itself was fine, and the property is clean. But the lack of transparency around fees and the blanket policy that ignores the distinction between pets and emotional support animals left a bad taste. If you’re going to market yourself as pet friendly, at minimum be upfront about the costs. A $100 fee for one night is steep, and finding out at check-in is a frustrating way to start a stay. Travelers with ESAs, take note — call ahead and confirm the fee policy before booking, because “pet friendly” here doesn’t mean what you might expect."
