6/10 Good

Nice enough for the convenience of being across the street from the Boardwalk.

Barri, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Free parking. Clean rooms, but outdated. No nightstand. Lots of stairs and steep slopes.
Melissa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Other than right in front of office, parking spots are on a super steep hill. The parking lot next to property had people partying loud beginning at 10pm. Be aware there is no elevator. Being older adults, we should have requested a first floor room. The card key lock on our door worked fine, but the additional safety lock that clicks over from doorframe to door was broken in our room. It was clean and we didn't spend much time there, just to sleep. For the price it served our purpose well.
Pamela, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was very bare bones. There were not table lamps, there was no closet, the bed was uncomfortable, the room was very small and the water in the sink smelt like sewage. Most of this isn't too big of a deal (mostly inconvenient) but the issue was had was there was a man outside our room grunting for over 2 hours and the walls were so thin we could our neighbors the entire time. We were supposed to stay there for 3 nights but we left after the 1st.
Zach, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in guy was the best and parking was right in front of the room. Had no issues and loved the updated paint job. Cant wait to head back soon.
Michelle, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Two AC units in our unit. Neither one worked. Staff said they were replacing a transformer, but it wasn’t a power outage. They did bring us fans that made it kind of bareable. The paint was chipping and looked like rush job. The smoke detector was painted pink which is against compliance. The bed was fine. Parking was close to boardwalk to easily walk there. The front desk lady was amazing and super nice. I think it could be a nice place but needs some maintenance.
Ambrosia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Parking was horrible, room smelt weird and was unsafe environment. Man walking around property with an ankle monitor on and police were there on a few occasions

Greatest benifit was walking distance to everything.
Daniel, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

No air conditioner, no mirror in or even close to bathroom, dirty floors, broken microwave, dangerous parking... staff kind but unable or willing to help in anyway. Apparently not one of our issues with the room could be improved!?!? AND the worst, when we went to check out 1 day early because of a medical crisis with a parent, despite hotels.com being willing to refund them the day, they stuck it to us and were unwilling to do so!!! We left a full day early and were stuck with the full bill.
Stuart, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

phillip, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Parking area is safe but very tight, very close to beach and boardwalk, location is great but it's a tight location
Issa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was small and in kind of a run down condition. Bathroom was just fine. As soon as we got into the room, which did not have a security lock, my husband killed a wolf spider that we assume came in through the gap under the front door. No cable tv. Toiletries were affixed to the walls. Parking lot was a tight fit. The only reason we chose it was due to it being across the street from the Boardwalk.

Cathylee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved how close this is to the Boardwalk! Room was clean, bathroom seemed upgraded, water pressure was great in the shower and got hot quickly. Beds weren't super comfy but they were good enough. Like others said, the parking is tight and on a hill/slope so must be comfortable with your vehicle. The walls are thin so it's a little noisy at night with the nightlife outside but we picked this place to be able to walk to the Boardwalk and not have to find parking. Downtown Santa Cruz is less than a mile away and has tons of other food options and shopping. Overall, great place to stay while visiting Santa Cruz Boardwalk!
Brittany, 2-night trip

Owner was incredibly kind, helped me navigate the area, such a pleasant experience
Emily, 2-night trip

Great place to stay, only it takes way to long to get hot water and they need something to hang your clothes/ coat or sweater on.
