Bay View is a great secret spot to enjoy a quick stay or in my case, an extended stay. It is so centrally located that everything Santa Cruz is within walking distance. The staff are sweethearts both in the office and in common areas. \*Clean room, pet friendly.

Room was great for family room: house keeping could have been better with coming in and sweeping the floors and fixing the rooms and bringing towels. Maybe I missed something on the agreement. We helped by putting out the trash and towels. The rock shower floor was great too see but to step on during showering sometimes was difficult. and maybe having a clear time of the office hours could help. Other than that great location and surroundings.

In a great location — right in between the boardwalk and downtown so easy to walk around. For the price this place is awesome. Only complaint is the SMELL. Stayed here twice, the first time it was just the bathroom that had a bad sewage smell, the second time it was the whole room. Had to keep window open and still didn’t help much. Not sure if it’s the pipes or what but bad enough that we probably won’t stay here again unless it’s a last option which sucks because it’s a nice spot in great location.

This is a small motel and parking is a premium. It is super close to the beach and boardwalk. There are plenty of places to eat thatnare within a couple of blocks away. It was less than 5 mins to the boardwalk. We would come back for sure
