We only stayed one night, it was clean, comfortable with excellent parking and excellent facilities in the room.
Evelyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Clean rooms. Sad area. Was fine for my purpose to be in Santa Cruz
Larry, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I've past by this place countless times over the years because it looked questionable. Well, it’s a different place now. The staff is kind, the rooms are quiet and clean, and it's convenient and affordable. It’s not “fancy”, but it’s certainly not “trashy”. I would definitely stay here again.
Christopher, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Terrible air-conditioning.
Oliver, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Would not go back again terrible side of town pictures are completely deceiving. Looks nothing like this in person completely waste of my money.
Glenda, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

There’s really nothing around the property, but downtown and the pier are a short drive. However, the hotel is remodeled, clean and safe. The owner and staff are all very nice people. I’ll go back next time.
Douglas, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I like everything and easy check in and check out
Gene Ray III, 1-night trip

I had a great time with a couple friends here in late March and would highly recommend it! Staff was kind and attentive and the location was great
Layla, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It’s a smaller Inn, which is nice because there’s less traffic/cars and people, making for a quiet and safe feeling stay
CASSIE, 1-night trip

Great stay

Very friendly staff. Clean room very spacious. They gave a nice little welcome bag with water & snacks. Conveniently located.
1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We just needed a place to sleep. The room was adequate, nothing fancy. It was fine. We arrived late around 11pm and left by 9am. The morning was very noisy with cars leaving and guests shutting room doors. The walls are thin and with an open window the noise was even louder. The area is expensive in general so I searched for the cheapest room I could find and this was it. If you're looking for a one night quick stay then this place will be good enough. If you're looking for more I would suggest you look for another place and expect to pay more. I will add that the man at the front desk was also very friendly. My check-in was fast and easy.

1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good stay for the price.

I booked this last minute after reading the reviews. Turned out to be a pleasant stay. Very quiet for being sold out. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was convenient. Found the cleanliness exceptional. I had read a couple of negative reviews but found none to be true during my stay.
Kimberly, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

This is an outdated property that is hard to keep dust-free and clean. They do as much as they could I suppose. The bed sheets are thin. There was a second room the size of the bed/bath with a kitchen and dining space. There's a full-size freezer and you can cook for an added $5 cleaning fee. You can also borrow utensils for cooking. That seems reasonable!
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very friendly place
Jeremey, 1-night trip

Very nice little motel. Very clean and reasonable. It came with a large full kitchen with a gas range, which was amazing! It was the nicest this type of motel can be.
