The rooms was very clean. ##### Marcus Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Connor 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great spot for a quick trip, clean room, did smell like cigarettes, but we got used to it quickly. My only quarrel was the door wouldn't open first try, it would take about 10+ tries to get the door open with the key. Other than that it was great, had A/C and was clean inside. Dog friendly too which was a bonus! ##### Connor Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MICHAEL 22 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good location, main road has restaurants across street and straight path to wharf or boardwalk. Very clean rooms. TV channels work. Shampoo provided in shower. Desk lady is highly friendly and nice, quite reasonable too. AC works. Minifridge available with microwave. Down sides: shower head is fixed not a hose, large shower is spacious sliding door though. Metal box under beds is annoyin at times if you accidently kick it getting in out of bed. Outside the railing walk ways are packed around the ceiling with huge spider webs with large spiders. If tall watch your head while getting to your room. They need to clear the webs. Other than that tho its a fantastic motel. ##### MICHAEL Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CLAUDIA 5 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities the rooms were clean, bed comfortable. ample parking ##### CLAUDIA Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 23 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Friendly staff and clean! ##### Peter Stayed 15 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 7 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly stuff reasonable price walking distance to the boardwalk Nice and clean pet friendly everything was very convenient for me and my family I definitely if I'm going to Santa Cruz I will stay with them again ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Anala 15 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It's not great but good for the price, Good location ##### Anala Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faithy 3 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a close walk to the beach.
