This hotel was clean. This is right off the freeway entrance and was sometimes noisy. The breakfast was good. If you are just looking for some place to lay your head it completes that.
Very clean. Staff were super helpful. Walking distance to stores and food. Shower pressure good and water hot. Pillows good, bed meh, highway is right next to it so some road noise but generally quiet. Parking is very tight so not great for bigger vehicles. For Santa Cruz and price its a good place. Not fancy but clean and ran well. Does the job but way more than the bare minumum.
Staff excellent, room was clean, good breakfast and better coffee, parking was great. Overall it’s a very good place to stay. I need a first level room because medical reasons and always get it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
clean room, remodeled, friendly staff, good breakfast
Room was clean and newly remodeled. Our only issue was the tiny bathroom and low shower. Otherwise, staff was friendly. Breakfast was nice, and free parking is always a bonus!
We would stay here again. The rooms are super Clean, the location is right of the high way but it’s quiet, the location is a 30 minute walk to the boardwalk; 5 minutes if you drive. they have private parking. Also, we really enjoyed the complementary breakfast especially the waffles, nothing fancy but enough not to have to go elsewhere and spend money.
Staff was friendly upon walk in, room smelled great and was in clean condition, house keep provided extra blanket upon request and breakfast the next day was as good as you can expect it to be. I’d book again
Simple, no frills, perfectly fine. It was very clean, the towels were soft even if there were only 2 sets for a 4 person reservation, the front desk clerk was nice. Free parking, free wifi, and a decent free breakfast. Not fancy but good in all the basics
