I liked the price and the owners were very very kind .. will stay at that motel everytime I visit Santa Cruz. The only downfall was ,no coffee pot 😞. But that’s not a problem ,, The Islander motel is awesome

I could not get the heater control to work automatically. Other than that everything else was very acceptable.

This will sound contradictory, but I both liked and disliked the property location. But I must say that given the purpose of my visit (reason for stay), the location was ideal. I just needed a place that was inexpensive to spend the night. I wanted it to be in Santa Cruz but NOT near the beach. Ocean St. between Soquel and Water was ideal. But ... that area is not the prettiest part of Santa Cruz. But I didn't want to spend the $$ to be in the prettiest part when all I needed was a clean bed and room for the night. For that purpose, the Islander was perfect. And I will definitely strongly consider for future such visits. The staff were great; the room was clean, the bed nice. All worthy of praise.
