Very basic hotel, good location due to its proximity to the boardwalk. But don’t expect much. The A/C did not work. The beds and bedding were average to below average. But if you just need a place to lay your head for cheap this is probably the pick.

This property is close to many great attractions in Santa Cruz. It is next to a busy roadway that can be quite noisy during the daytime and evening. It gets more quiet in the middle of the night and early morning. Despite having a slightly dirty floor, out of facial tissues, no ice bucket, and no hand soap in the dispenser at the sink, the staff is very cooperative and took care of all of the issues. I asked about the security of the parking lot and their response was to take everything we can into our room so not exactly a boost of confidence there.

We stayed here many times. Convenient, affordable, and nice staff. However, we noticed that the rooms had been remodeled but the quality gets worse: pipe under the sink is clogged so whatever run down the sink comes back up…gross, shower curtain bar falling down so the curtain cannot keep water in the shower area and wet all over the floor, a bed has a piece of metal sticking out to the side that is very hazardous(my leg got scraped by it), a room got very noisy from cars and also other customers. Last night, we were waken up by other customers who yelled at each other at 2:30am. We want to like this place, but our experience with recent stay is very bad.

Nice Inn for the Price The inn was definitely a little old, and it shows. The shower head in the room we got was slightly coming off the wall. The walls are also very thin, we could hear the people next door speaking loudly and blasting their music. That said, the room was very comfortable. The room was clean and was tidied up well after we came back for the night of the stay. It has a fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker. It also is pretty spacious and the shower worked well. Overall, it's a nice inn for the price. It is a little old, and it isn't maintained the greatest, so there are better options around the area. Check this one out if you want to save some money and don't mind an antiquated building.

Room was clean and spacious. Electrical outlets were not available or did not work correctly, especially around vanity. Lighting was inadequate to do makeup at bath vanity. Lighting throughout room was either glaring white or off- there was no reading-level, comfortable lighting available. There were steel brackets protruding from the bed frame below to out beyond the side walls of the mattress, rough-edged and unprotected, which could easily cut or scratch one's legs or arms severely. I discovered these when I swung my legs out of bed in the morning; luckily, I only brushed lightly across one. Soap dispensers were oddly and incorrectly mounted near vanity and in shower. More bath linens would have been useful; the supply was marginal.
