Excellent staff who gave us good suggestions on restaurants, etc. Very walkable to The Boardwalk. Only suggestions: Grounds could use some sprucing and room could use a place to hang clothes. ##### Sherry Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mailee 27 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities Check in was smooth. The man at the front desk was friendly and informative. He put our group of three together, allowed us to stay parked at the hotel after check out while we had one last day at the Boardwalk and he even called to let me know my daughter left her iPad in the room. Great customer service goes a long way. The hotel is affordable and short walk to the Board Walk. If you don’t plan on spending a lot of time in the room, it’s a great option. We would stay here again. ##### Mailee Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ashley 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Best property within walking distance of the boardwalk.

It just needs to soften up a little. Looks a little rough with the dark colors all on the outside. Maybe add more plans. Customer service was excellent when checking in very pleasant, accommodating and welcoming. Cleanliness: Restrooms, could of used more of a pleasant smell, clean overall, but I had this wet smell understandable due to the closeness of the beach/boardwalk. Maybe add air fresheners? ##### Yina Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla 27 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was wonderful! ##### Kayla Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arma 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Arma Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mitch 13 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Not where I normally stay in Santa Cruz but was in town for a night and didn't want to pay $300.
