Great stay! Staff very friendly.
Ed, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room was very barebones with the minimum needed to stay. No extras at all. Furniture and bed were not in great shape.
JOEL, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not stay at this hotel

My experience at this hotel was largely negative. The staff member at the front desk was unfriendly and rude, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Although breakfast is included, his behavior made it unpleasant. He yelled at customers and was unhelpful, and the hotel floors were dirty. I advise against seeking assistance from the front desk. Additionally, four days after my stay, I was charged for items I did not authorize.
Denise, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

So so

Negatives: Dingy and dusty, rough sleeping arrangements, trash left in room. The positives: extra pillows, close to downtown, Continental breakfast was good, secure doors, hot water.
David Jackson, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean and very welcome service.
Rosa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I would stay here again.
Ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Inexpensive. Nice Location.

If I were to guess, I would say that this was a dilapidated property that was recently purchased and quickly renovated. It isn't perfect, but it's cheap and the staff are friendly. The really nice thing about this place is the location. It's a 5 minute walk to Maitreya Retreat, Enterprise Rent-a-car, and Santa Cruz Diner.

Perfect for the night.

Noise issue that was handled swiftly by management
Catherine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room had an odor. The towels need replacing they were old, dingy and on top of that there were only two towels provided in the room. There was a stain on the bedsheets and the bedding could use some updating with only one sheet and a paper thin duvet.

Not a Sure Stay

This hotel is very basic. I was upset that the front desk would not provide an extra blanket on a cold night. He said, "turn up the heater." That's not hospitality. The bedside lights did not work. The room was clean and the shower, though small, was nice and hot. The free breakfast features mini-muffins (size of big dots) and a tiny waffle maker. The coffee was very watery and weak. Please don't cut corners on this small amenity.
Edward, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was very cozy.
Marcus, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Would not recommend

Spent Easter weekend with my kids in Santa Cruz to check out the boardwalk. Checked in on Friday night, checking in was simple. Got to the room, the sheets and pillow covers were stained or wasn't changed. There was a hair ball on the desk! DISGUSTING!! like someone cleaned out their brush and left it there, shows they didn’t clean the room! obviously. we asked for extra towels and the front desk, or owner was complaining that we wanted extra towels. (just one man there all day and night, i assume he is the owner) pictures online looked nicer than in person, i’m not surprised! also parking sucks! but the location is
