Bright porch light

Okay stay. Breakfast wasn't the best. The blinds for the room does not block out the light from outside so it feels like its bright all day even at 2am. Free Parking is a plus but it is very compact.

I thought the location was wonderful and pretty clean inside and out, the parking is okay, could be better but in general pretty good. My problem was the terrible service I had. I was using the restroom and all the lights in power turned off, about 15 minutes but we had to get ready to leave and take showers so I went to the front office to ask and kindly said hi my power in the room is not working? And the worker immediately said “YEAH I KNOW I got a call saying it’ll be back on at 12” (which is AFTER I had to leave btw) and so after she so quickly responded harshly without even an apology for the inconvenience, I started asking for any sort of solution! And she was like “well open the windows” For one, I’m in my own private room, why would I want strangers to be able to see me, PLUS I needed to take a shower…. There’s no windows in the bathroom is there?? So I asked for a partial refund and she refused repeatedly and said “well I would have to talk to my manager about that but I can’t do that” and I said okay yeah let me talk to them!! And she wouldn’t let me do that either.. while we were still talking, the power went back on so I dropped it but I couldn’t believe how insanely rude she was from the start! And she said over and over again “it’s not my problem” yes it is your problem… I’m not paying $200 to sit in the dark and not be able to shower or do my makeup! I was so exhausted with such the terrible interaction I had with the worker

It’s fine

The owners were very nice. Room was clean but the bed was uncomfortable. The worst part was the lack of parking. We ended up having to park in a creepy alley behind the hotel. It’s walking distance to the Boardwalk though.

Staff very courteous and accommodating, rooms were very clean. Good location. Everything we needed for an overnight stay in Santa Cruz. Walking distance to the KP Arena and downtown bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again. Not a fancy place but if you want a nice clean convenient place to stay near the Boardwalk and isn’t $300 a night then this is it.

Liked: Staff & service
In the heart of Santa Cruz by boardwalk. Limited areas to eat, you have to walk, cycle, drive. Property is old and front desk open @ 7:30a, closes @ 9pm so no support after that on a Thurs night. Had some spring breakers at hotel so noisy at night when they got back from bar @ 3am. Managers try to maintain hotel but it’s used, several things out of order. Very basic. Room seemed clean, AC fan was noisy. Not worth more than $100/night.

The refrigerator in our room was so nosy all night. The mattresses so stiff and the comforters looked so dirty and worn out. To top it off, no house keeper available the entire stay.
