AVOID THIS PLACE!! No one should have had to experience what I went through at this overpriced hovel for three nights (Oct. 27, 28, 29, 2022). It is located in a sleazy part of Santa Cruz, a riverbank area populated by scary-looking, homeless people and wandering vagrants. I was carelessly assigned to a wing just 12' facing a busy street and backed by a unit containing what appeared to be a long-term guest who was up blasting his TV and yelling on the phone until 5 am. The thin walls couldn't hide the racket from trucks, motorcycles and skateboards going by all night, or noises from adjoining rooms The last night was the worst, with noisy check-ins entering, leaving and slamming doors all night long. I had to park around the other side of the building the last night because a worker said she didn't have her choice spot near the office and used the spot by my unit There is no "sleeping in" possible since by 8 am kids are using the city skateboard park and basketball court right across the busy street. The white socks I wore just walking from the bed to the bathroom at night were black with filth from the carpeting. I never touched the room's coffee maker. I had to drive 500 miles home on three hours of sleep. What an awful, awful place.
