Maybe I missed something on the agreement. We helped by putting out the trash and towels. The rock shower floor was great too see but to step on during showering sometimes was difficult. and maybe having a clear time of the office hours could help.

For the price this place is awesome. Only complaint is the SMELL. Stayed here twice, the first time it was just the bathroom that had a bad sewage smell, the second time it was the whole room. Had to keep window open and still didn’t help much. Not sure if it’s the pipes or what but bad enough that we probably won’t stay here again unless it’s a last option which sucks because it’s a nice spot in great location. ##### Alaina Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hayden Apr 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities It is very close to the boardwalk/beach, which is nice. ##### Hayden Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alejandro Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Worth the price for the location Good: Price and Beds were comfortable Not so good: parking, bathroom small, walking in the room: socks got very dirty.. ##### Alejandro Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deanna Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great prices and The family room was very spacious ##### Deanna Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Charming B&B steps to beach, boardwalk, pier, shop, restaurants w bath & WiFi #6](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Charming-BB-Steps-To-Beach.h115416940.Hotel-Information) - [Santa Cruz Guesthouse Surrounded by Redwoods](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Santa-Cruz-Guesthouse-Surrounded-By-Redwoods.h66970027.Hotel-Information) - [Best Western Plus Capitola By-the-sea Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Capitola-By-The-Sea-Inn-Suites.h532613.Hotel-Information) - [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Santa Cruz](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Santa-Cruz-Beach-Boardwalk.h15140.Hotel-Information) - [Salt Air Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Salt-Air-Lodge.h16153526.Hotel-Information) - [2 Room Suite - Indoor Pool and Spa - Walk to the Boardwalk - No Cleaning Fee!](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-2-Room-Suite-Indoor-Pool-And-Spa-Walk-To-The-Boardwalk-No-Cleaning-Fee.h95806726.Hotel-Information) - [Pacific Blue Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Pacific-Blue-Inn.h3038261.Hotel-Information) - [Fairfield Inn & Suites Santa Cruz - Capitola](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-Santa-Cruz-Capitola.h4395449.Hotel-Information) - [Hotel Solares](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Hotel-Solares.h15569536.Hotel-Information) - [Casablanca On The Beach](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Casablanca-On-The-Beach.h5067924.Hotel-Information) - [Best Western Plus All Suites Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-All-Suites-Inn.h5407.Hotel-Information) - [Ocean Gate Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Ocean-Gate-Inn.h1106670.Hotel-Information) - [Fireside Inn Santa Cruz](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Fireside-Inn-Santa-Cruz.h890831.Hotel-Information) - [Mission Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Mission-Inn.h9675322.Hotel-Information) - [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Santa Cruz by IHG](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Santa-Cruz.h2458057.Hotel-Information) - [Continental Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Continental-Inn.h1164963.Hotel-Information) - [Beachview Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Beachview-Inn.h1110782.Hotel-Information) - [Surf City Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Surf-City-Inn-And-Suites.h5293.Hotel-Information) - [Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Santa-Cruz-West.h47083738.Hotel-Information) - [Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Riverside-Inn-Suites-Santa-Cruz.h1742350.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Santa Cruz County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Flight-Destinations) - [Santa Cruz County Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Santa Cruz County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Santa Cruz County Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Santa Cruz County](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Travel-Guide-Activities)
