It was very close to the boardwalk area. There was food options in walking distance. The pool was small. Parking was not always available in the same lot as the room. The shampoo was half full upon check in.

If you are going ti visit Santa Cruz this is your best bet. The rooms are clean the staff is helpful and the price is always good, higher on the weekends during summer but never overpriced like most other hotels in the area.

Reservation for 4 persons but the lady gave us a very small room with 1 double bed. It even looked like a twin bed to me. You have to cross the road to get to the other building. Maybe the lady didn't pay attention the details of my reservation. I complained and the relief staff gave me the right room.

Decent

The customer service was great, the room was slightly dated and our TV did not really work. The hot tub is older, looks like it could use a good scrub and the pool was closed. But for the price - you get what you pay for. About a 10 minute walk to the beach, and there are so many restaurants walking distance. We just wanted a place to sleep and shower.
