Clean room, nice size mini refrigerator. Continental breakfast is okay, but better than anything. Parking is limited at night, and a bit of homeless people in the parking on one of the nights but didn’t see any issues the next day.

Not the best part of town but if your know Santa Cruz, you already know that. Staff warned about locking cars to avoid theft. No issues while I was there and the room was really nice and quiet. Smelled and looked clean. The bed was pretty comfy too. Not bad at all.

This is a pretty decent motel with good rates. It was pretty clean. The rooms were really nice. The area was really nice too across the street is a really good ice cream shop and if you like a cannabis store, there’s a restaurant up the street and a Denny’s all within three minute walking distance The bed and everything were really good. They were all clean. The bathrooms were nice. I wasn’t there too much because I was exploring the city and the beaches, but it was really nice and the front desk was also very nice and friendly. The only thing I would say is the breakfast it could’ve been a little bit better but it was not bad all in all, and I was able to eat something early in the morning so that I didn’t have to go somewhere and get something to eat, but they do have a nice mini fridge and microwave in the room so you can definitely always stock that if you need to this is my second time going there and I’ll probably go again like I said decent pricing. The hotel is really clean. The staff is really friendly and it’s kind of right in the middle of a bunch of things that you can just walk to if you want to.
