It's not a bad place to stay. Close to the boardwalk. Tight parking but beats daily valet parking at the better hotels. I wouldn't mind staying again.

Close to Boardwalk &has the bare necessities !
Dropping off my son to UC SANTA CRUZ, we decided to crash one night here. I used at $100 gift card & credit card both . Hotels.com doesn’t let you add your one key points too , bummer. Check in was ok waiting like 2 minutes for someone to come to the desk. The lobby is teeny tiny, probably gets claustrophobic during free breakfast 7 am to 10 am. The stay is ok it has the bare necessities you need , walkable to boardwalk, free parking , free WiFi , fridge & microwave etc. The TV channels were horrible nothing to watch except old movies , food network or Sportscenter. Neighbors are Super 8, Brand new courtyard by Marriott across the street. We felt safe here. Parking has plenty of LED lights and every door to rooms has bright lights also. There is garbage cans everywhere. It can get kinda loud people coming in and out at wee hours of the night, understandable due to the tourists. Two place next door and 7-11 liquor stores nearby. Downtown SC is 1-2 miles away only! No real issues here to really complain about - oh yeah the faucet sink is outside the bathroom shower . The toilet flush is weird it flushes opposite and the hot cold turns for the faucet is reversed . Stayed in room #404 upstairs next to last from the corner. Room wasn’t that cold or hot perfect. The shutters on the window blocked the light about 90% I’d say. They have a do not disturb sign if you wish to use it. Hope this honest review helps! I might stay here again or stay someplace else similar. Paid like $230.

Small property but the rooms are quite spacious and updated. It’s tucked away from any tourist area which makes it quiet, but close enough to drive a short distance. I’d definitely stay here again.

Was given someone else room or uncleaned room. Bed was not made tv blasted and steam from someone showering recently! Such a disappointment after driving 3 hrs and exhausted. Had to wait for another while they kept calling house keeping which made no sense but was upgraded to a king from a queen
