Stephen was very friendly and helpful in giving us local insight on things to do in and around Santa Cruz. Our initial reservation was only for 2 nights, but we extended our stay for 4 nights, and we loved the location and courteous, knowledgeable staff that we met. Even the security guard helped answer our questions!!

Front check in dude, younger guy was totally rude with an attitude. He told me that "I'm gonna need you to move your car from our parking lot", when I thought I had absolutely made arrangements to reserve a parking spot. He was snippy and very dismissive. The fact that I was concerned about parking on the street didn't seem to matter to him. Otherwise room was clean and I enjoyed the hotel itself. Neighborhood was fine, certainly not dangerous. I'd definitely stay there again.
Room was freezing. the water was scathing hot and left burns on my skin could never make it warm or cold. Left with bug bites not sure what it is probably mosquitoes. The hotel smelled like mildew.

Micro hotel
I asked for a bottle of water to purchase and I was told I had to walk across the street to 7-11 to get one.
Room was very noisy due to road traffic on Santa Monica blvd.
One lamp was out of service by the bed and the air conditioner dripped on the headboard all day

The staff and service were awesome. Our initially assigned room had a lot of street noise, and the AC didn't work, requiring opening windows. The front desk staff was great and helped change my room. The second room was much quieter, and the AC worked. The only issue in the second room was the shower drained very slowly, causing a puddle when showering.

Overall state was nice but I was a little upset as there was so many ants (like a trail of pants) in my room and little bugs, and they really made the inconvenience. Unfortunately I will not be staying again due to this...
Thank you for your hospitality anyways,

The room was mostly great, staff was great and I was able to find ok food walking distance. Room smelled like wet dirty carpet, the AC was being blocked by one of the bunk beds.
Awful. I mean, really, really bad. Filthy and Fraying carpet. Only one uncomfortable desk chair in a room with 2 queen size beds. The shower was a joke: no place to put shampoo, soap or razors other than the shower floor. Parking is absurd. We travel a lot and this place needs to be shut down and completely revamped. What a dump.
