Friendly easy check in and check out, simple but clean/ fresh room. Beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Overall we were satisfied staying in this well kept motel at a reasonable rate.

Location was great. Property was fine. This is one of the older motels in town, so it is a bit dated. However, the room was clean and it had every convenience we needed. The price was great. I would stay here again.

The hotel is a good value! It is older but clean. It’s right by the hwy but with the door closed you don’t hear the hwy. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are clean.

Overall the room, bed, amenities, etc. were average but when I tried to shower in the morning there was no hot water and nobody working on site to help. Very upsetting. I believe it’s posted as a 16 minute walk to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk but when I mapped it, it was double that so we decided to drive and it was in fact very far away.

We have stayed at this location many times and we will always come back to this hotel when we stay in Santa Cruz. The owners are amazing! They are always polite and always have a smile on their face. The customer service is top tier! I have asked for a late check out a few time with no hesitation to accommodate! It’s always an amazing stay at National 9!
