The room was nice and clean with a comfortable bed. The location was amazing, just a 2 min bike ride to the boardwalk!
There was not enough parking for every room so we had to park on the street one night. Not a huge deal, but the meters run 8am to 8pm, so you have to make sure to get up and move or pay the meter.

Friendly staff! Room was clean and had AC!
Pillows were (for me) uncomfortable. I suggest having 1 be very soft and not so firm. No hotel is the world has a decent coffee setup in the room so don't let this one beat you up. We went elsewhere because we couldn't figure out how to turn the coffee pot on. I forgot my airpods in the room and couldn't get an answer on the phone so we had to drive back. Once there, we discovered the office was locked until 3. We found housekeeping but she didn't speak any english! We found any housekeeper and he had them in his pocket. Luckily I know enough spanish to get the point so he gave them to me!

Excellent proximity to Boardwalk & Pier, beds were fairly comfortable, reasonably clean, kids enjoyed the pool. Pool was aged, could use a painting/ resurfacing, but water was clean and heated. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Water pressure was great in room
Distinct shortage of outlets in our room!. There was 1 accessible outlet between the beds, which was in the base of a lamp. The outlet itself had a broken edge but still worked. Also, towels were tiny and rough

Location, price, appearance, good size room, king size bed, good heater.
No chair in room, plug in bathroom not work for electric tooth brush or hair dryer, car park too small so had to park in street and pay meter at 8.00am next day, when arrived late in evening on one night which can understand because it was a Friday. Almost full on Saturday as well but got there a bit earlier. Office not staffed at 9.00am and could never contact directly to hotel by phone or email.

Great proximity to the Santa Cruz Warriors stadium. We walked there and it was easy. Convenient to have a parking lot in that location, which is surrounded by metered parking spots. The king-sized bed was VERY comfortable! (and I cannot say this about many hotels I've stayed in) Downtown was a short 2-minute drive away. It has a good sized refrigerator in the room which kept our food at the perfect temperature. We also had fun at the nearby bowling alley with karaoke. There is a wine tasting room just around the corner. Beautiful trees on the property and surrounding, if you like nature like I do. While the room was not fancy, it was a very good value for my needs and provided excellent quality of sleep.

A pretty looking hotel within walking distance of the beach
There was a long wait to check in because there are a lot of people checking in at the same time probably because the parking was limited so everyone made sure to arrive for 3 o’clock

Loved your location, and reasonable rates! The room was clean, spacious, quiet. I loved the brand of toiletries you provided, the shampoo and conditioner were wonderful and greatly appreciated (after the previous Motel 6 gave me all in 1 shampoo/ conditioner packets that left my hair feeling dry). We will definitely return in the future.

The location was great. I loved that it felt like a classic roadside motel from years gone by. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We loved it.
The rooms are definitely small but we didn't have a problem with that because we only slept there. If you are looking for a room in which you can hang out this is probably not for you.
