The room was nice, clean and confortable. The breakfast had a lots of choice and variety.
The spa was a little hard to find and was nice and quiet. The neighborhood nice, grocery and restaurant in walking distance. Great donut place across the street.
The hotel served our needs. Its location is within walking distance to many conveniences and that was nice. The room was clean. The sauna would have been nice, but it takes 45 minutes to prep, so that was kind of inconvenient. There are some nice seating areas outside. The hotel is not near the beach and you must drive to the boardwalk, so I felt the price for our Saturday night stay was high.
This is more like a 'boutique hotel'. It was a great location, clean, easy parking, nice staff, nice rooms and a very decent price...we were really happy with our stay and would definitely go back.
It was a good stay. Room was clean, one panel of the shutters didn’t close correctly letting light in, and no shade to close. (Rm 146). Also, please get rid of the rubber mat in the shower, it’s nasty.
Other than that, it’s a convenient place to stay in Santa Cruz

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very expensive for the quality of the room and property.
Nice little spot. Affordable. Convenient. Nice nighttime staff. Looked a bit different in person than online. More high end motel than hotel. Sound upstairs traveled downstairs. But honestly a very reasonable, accessible place. Would visit again
Checkout was at 11, we had our stuff in our hands about to walk out the door and the phone rings. It’s the front desk telling us checkout is at 11 and the clock said 11:01. Come on now
There was a little confusion since I don’t normally book reservations with hotels.com. But the staff was patient and the rooms were immaculate. I recommend them and the location was very good.
We got in about 9:30pm and the lobby receptionist was not friendly at all . The room was clean and comfortable , the breakfast was good. Overall okay stay for 1 night .
Solid local choice. 3 stars, in this case, isn't bad. This is a quality motel option. Clean hot tub, solid breakfast. Ambiance in the room is what severely lacks. Cheap feeling floors, rough lighting, fan in the A/C rattled terribly.
All this to say, I'd likely stay here again.
Staff was friendly, property was very clean and there was plenty of parking. I read in another review that the boardwalk was walkable from the hotel. No it’s not! Unless you don’t mind walking the hour and a half to get there and another hour and a half to get back. Regardless, I would definitely stay here again.
