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.

It’s smelled like cigarettes. The ac didn’t work so we left the door open on the balcony that helped so much but other than that it’s not bad the pier is 10 walk away

It's ok. Nothing special. Parking spots are very tight as one can see by all the scrapes on the poles next to the spaces. If you want a no frills, just a place to sleep then it will do.

The staff were very kind and quick to accommodate my traveling through. They upgraded my room which was great. The building as a whole is old and has some general wear and tear but was well kept. My room was clean and cozy.

Being near the river made it perfect for walking and enjoying the scenery, and the transportation options in the area were very convenient.

I was upset due to false advertising. This place DOES NOT have a bar or a smoking area. And no vending machines and the elevator did not work. I’m disabled and the stairs were just to much. Also the bathtub was small and the curtains were too short.

This is my go to hotel when going to Santa Cruz it is a $10 Uber ride from the hotel to the Santa Cruz Beach boardwalk. The hotel is always clean and the staff is extremely friendly. Beds are super comfortable and the rooms are very spacious. Only downfall this trip was the elevator was being maintenance so we had to walk up to the third floor other than that I highly recommend this hotel.
