The singular staff member was creepy and made me feel uneasy. The back of the hotel over looks private residents who's yards are just packed with literal trash. The walls were dirty and there were unknown dirty splashes on the walls in the bathroom. The only positive thing I have to say is that the rooms themselves were very large .

Not the hotel’s fault, but the folks in the room next to me were loud until really late and it made for poor sleep. Otherwise, just an average hotel.

The price was outrageous for what the room looked like! Dirty not kept up. I just can’t believe how people can charge this amount and the place is a dump! It should be clean at the minimum, they should take pride in there property not just for the money!!

This property is close to many great attractions in Santa Cruz. It is next to a busy roadway that can be quite noisy during the daytime and evening. It gets more quiet in the middle of the night and early morning. Despite having a slightly dirty floor, out of facial tissues, no ice bucket, and no hand soap in the dispenser at the sink, the staff is very cooperative and took care of all of the issues. I asked about the security of the parking lot and their response was to take everything we can into our room so not exactly a boost of confidence there.

We stayed here many times. Convenient, affordable, and nice staff. However, we noticed that the rooms had been remodeled but the quality gets worse: pipe under the sink is clogged so whatever run down the sink comes back up…gross, shower curtain bar falling down so the curtain cannot keep water in the shower area and wet all over the floor, a bed has a piece of metal sticking out to the side that is very hazardous(my leg got scraped by it), a room got very noisy from cars and also other customers. Last night, we were waken up by other customers who yelled at each other at 2:30am. We want to like this place, but our experience with recent stay is very bad.
