It was fine for a cheap hotel. Don't count on the breakfast. If it's open at all (8-10am) there isn't really much offered other than bananas, coffee.

Love this place.
This is the second time we’ve stayed here because it’s family friendly and not far from anything. The staff is always friendly and the hotel though on a busy street is quiet.

Easy/Fast check-in, comfortable room
Super easy access from PCH right to Ocean St and 500yards and you are there!! Great location to local Santa Cruz eateries and easy in and out from the property. We had our dog with us and the charge was a reasonable 30/night/per animal..

Entrance to hotel very narrow. Office still closed/locked at 7 in the morning with no sign of staff. Continental breakfast/coffee not available as indicated on website. Balcony was unkept and had debris. Coffee pot missing in room, so couldn't make own coffee. What appeared to be mould around shower faucets. Dirt smudged on bathroom light switch. Bed was made and appeared to be clean. Overall would NOT recommend this place to stay, especially for the price charged for the room. Have had better service at a Motel 6.

Staff was friendly as we're the other guests. The room was average at best. Homeless people everywhere camped out at surrounding businesses. Lock your cars and don't leave anything visible in the car. It will dissappear.

Checked in later in the evening and was told there was no room available due to it not being cleaned. Had to wait for housekeeping to clean a room to begin our stay.

Appearance
We weren’t sure we wanted to stay here from the look of the outside of the hotel. However, when we saw the room inside, we decided that it was clean and spacious.
The man who checked us in was very polite and helpful.
