The hotel provides clean rooms and great service, with some noise concerns on the ground floor. The location is convenient for tourists but feels small and lacks capacity. The dining offerings are okay, and the facilities are decent.

The hotel's location is superb, just across the street from the beach and boardwalk, offering a slice of heaven with a nice view. The rooms are clean and comfortable with expansive views of the beach and wharf, but might lack great comfort and quiet due to the bustling area. The service is friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant stay, but there might be occasional issues like checking into an occupied room. The dining experience features tasty sandwiches but falls short in fresh fruit options. Overall, a bargain stay for the value provided.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were small but nice, very clean, and had all the essentials like a refrigerator, microwave, big TV, and a comfy bed. However, they were a little run down and had an overwhelming smell of cleaning spray. The location was fantastic, right next to the beach avenue with easy access to coffee shops, beach shops, and restaurants within walking distance. The service was good with polite and helpful staff, but they could use some training in creating a more upbeat atmosphere. The dining options were average, with simple choices like cereal, toast, and sweet cakes, but they were sufficient considering the price of the room.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and absolutely spotless, as were the bathrooms. They were decent-sized, not very modern but clean and comfortable. The service was amazing, the best I've ever experienced, with super friendly and helpful staff. The location was perfect for biking and ocean play, right next to the beach, boardwalk, and plenty of restaurants. The dining options were average but sufficient considering the price of the room.

My stay at the hotel was comfortable and relatively spacious, offering good value for the cost. The rooms, while clean and adequately furnished, felt a bit dated reminiscent of motels from the 1980s.

The hotel is perfectly located across the street from the beach, boardwalk, and wharf, making it a prime spot for easy access to Santa Cruz attractions. The rooms are clean and comfortable with two queen-sized beds, and the hotel offers a pool for relaxation. However, the service had some hiccups with forgotten room cleanings and a missed opportunity for better customer care.
