Summary: The motel is basic and located on a noisy street--the evening we spent the night was rife with motorcyclists rev bombing. The blackout curtains weren't enough to block streetlights and nightlife revelers. Rooms could use a lot more updating. The pillows could use replacing but the mattress was pretty comfortable.

Summary: The room was small but it was pretty clean with a really hard bed and one wet towel. The only problem we had was the people in and around the hotel. It's about a 3 minute drive to the boardwalk or a 20 minute walk.

Summary: The location to the boardwalk was fine. The room its self could've been better. The mattresses were bigger than the headboard which was weird, pillows were so thin that they were uncomfortable. Booked room for 2 queen beds for 4 people and had only 2 bath towels that were bare thin. The noise was loud till late as it was right off the road (so no insulation in the room). The bathroom door handle was hanging loosely off the door and there were a couple of dirty napkins and hair on the floor when you shut the room door after going in. The dresser was missing a knob and had scratches all over it. The highlight was that the bathroom appeared to have been remodeled. No amenities were available in the room. For the cost of the room at $332, I would've at least have thought it would've been a nicer room. I have stayed in a lot nicer places for a lot less with amenities and breakfast included, but I guess its because of the location it is in to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk/Beach.

Summary: It was just a small tiny room. No amenities, coffee pot, tables, ice machine, nothing. Property was noisy because of being on the main strip.
I get what I paid for, I guess!

Summary: The barroom looked like it was briefly cleaned with boogers still on the wall. Shower didn’t looked scrubbed. Only gave one towel. the bed was very uncomfortable along with pillows. Walls are really thin so could hear upstairs and neighbors. Parking was limited so I suggest you don’t leave once you have parking. Location was good 10-15 walk to boardwalk. 711 across street. Overall it was okay. It was just one night and we just needed sleep.

Summary: Had to deal with bed bugs in the room. Not a very good stay nor a comfortable place because of the lack of cleanliness.

Summary: i was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel room - especially the bathroom!! additionally the owners were dealing with a really difficult customer for a long time and they always held their composure and were kind even when the customer wasn’t granting them any understanding of the situation. also super helpful that 7-11 was right across the street!!
