Location!

We had a nice stay for one night while visiting the boardwalk. You cannot beat the location. Hotel is older but you can tell they are trying to maintain it as well as possible. Would definitely stay there again bc of location.

Toni, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location

Great location across the street from the boardwalk. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the room for an older, dated building. The front desk clerk was friendly & the check-in process was easy. It’s a no frills hotel, but you can tell they try to keep it clean & maintained. My teen loved having her own private room inside our room too. We mainly just needed the room to sleep with an early morning departure, but we would definitely book here again.
Gina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location to the Boardwalk. The hospitality wasn't that great. The check in was ok, but the morning guy was rude and grumpy.
Zinda, 3-night trip

We stayed one night while passing through Santa Cruz. We'd stay here again.

Katie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, old hotel

The staff was friendly and very helpful with finding us a parking spot..... the parking there is tight, not designed for anything past a small suv, definitely not for larger vehicles or trucks. The room was clean and the beds were okay. The bathroom was very small but did the job.

Right across from the Boardwalk.
Tausha, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location

The motel was old and loud, but the location was across from the parking lot of the Boardwalk which was amazing. It was ok overall. The room did not have a safe which I would have felt better about.
