DO NOT STAY HERE!!! YOUVE BEEN WARNED ⚠️
Stayed here 1 night to wake up and find my car rummaged and a mess. Then to find out that theres no cameras on the property. Which they make u think there is by the ring doorbell by the office window. No help from management or anyone. What kind of motel doesnt have cameras and then wants to blame their remodel on not having any. Asked to speak to manager and owner nothing. 2 young 20-30 guys were running this nightmare. Then they wanted to blame a remodel on why theres no cameras system in place AT ALL. Stay far far away from this place. Then they claim to have 24/7 window which is now a kiosk with someone remotely tending to you NOT someone onsite. Hope my experience helps u to stay away!!!

If you can get a rate under $80 then it’s a great deal - the king offers a kitchen with oven but if you’re paying peak summer prices it’s average compared to a lot of the other hotels in the same area. Parking is tight, it’s about a mile to the beach. Also the walls are thin and you can hear the other rooms, so if you’re a light sleeper that might not work for you.

Ignore the negative reviews. Those reviews are expecting 5 star hotel rooms. This is by far the BEST “cheapest” hotel in Santa Cruz that is close to the boardwalk, and I’ve been to quite a few “cheap” hotels here. Stayed from Thursday to Sunday. When you drive in, it’s like an apartment complex bc it’s enclosed. Check in and out went smoothly and had little to no wait time. They also had a corner for snacks and drinks for sale. They also had an indoor pool. The hotel rooms were nicely renovated. All the outlets and lights and AC/heater worked. Woke up at 5 in the morning and it didn’t take long for the water to get hot, although towels were kind of small. It was quiet every night. No one was loud. Parking was packed on Saturday night with just a few empty spots. I would recommend this hotel. I plan on staying again.
