Good for short stay, stay with my wife and young daughter. Guests next door were speaking using profanity all night and we could hear everything. Also be aware that hotel requires 200$ deposit that gets returned after check out and room gets inspection. Location is good, close to everything. Kitchenette has no utensils, plates or pots. Beds a bit squishy, overall not horrible but not great either.

Decent place but a little pricey these buget hotels need to be around 50 bucks total a night off peak to be at value the $20 fees on top ruins it

We stayed in the two-bedroom. The front bedroom did not have a television but the bathroom was there. The back bedroom had a television and kitchen, it also had a second door to go out but when I opened the door, at the bottom it was full of bugs and eggs, so I quickly closed it, and did not open it again. We did not drive there but the parking seemed to be accessible. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The kitchen and bathroom were unswept, and there was a large dead black bug by the refrigerator floor upon arrival. I asked the front desk to sweep the floors and they did. A strange lady knocked on the door late at night, and I was there with my daughter and I told her quietly to ignore it, although the woman knocked several times. We were able to walk back and forth to the boardwalk and a convenience store was two blocks away from the hotel, but I would not trust walking there at night. The Wi-Fi worked fine. The towels were clean, the bed was comfortable, and the shower head was nice, but the tub stopped up while showering. Although the location is convenient, I would not stay there again.

This has become our go-to place for our visits to a relative living in Santa Cruz. Good value for the money, our room had a kitchenette, and we like to bring our breakfast and eat in the room. With the kitchenette table we didn't have to eat on the bed. Even though it was a weekend, it was quiet and we slept well.
