9/10 Wonderful! (4,470 reviews)

Only stayed one night but the room was clean and the convenience of the location was great. The room had great set up with the mini fridge and microwave. The bed was fine ( not soft but not super uncomfortable) and the linen was nice and clean. I did notice the electric plugs were super loose so our chargers fell out of the wall by the bed, but super great place.

8/10 Very Good! (1,006 reviews)

This was a good place for a quick trip to Santa Cruz. We stayed with our family of 5 for one night. There was plenty of space for all of us. They only have stairs so if you need an elevator you would need to request the first floor. The place is a bit run down however, if the only thing you need is a clean place with a bed to sleep in then this will work for you. The walking distance to the boardwalk was great. It made it easy for us to come and go as needed. Our room was right by the patio on the second floor where people would hang out and smoke. I wasn’t a fan of that because we could smell it in the room. The beds were not super comfortable but you get what you get for the price.

8.8/10 Excellent! (122 reviews)

It's a nice property, nice views. I wasn't a fan of the people around us and how noisy they were. It felt like we were staying in a parking lot.
