We stayed here in September and it was quiet, pleasant, and clean. The continental breakfast is very generous with cereal, muffins, bagels, pastries, coffee, juice - you name it, very nice presentation. Rooms were also clean and the staff was incredibly friendly. We would definitely stay here again. Some people are not fair in their reviews, this is a Quality... More

Location is great, ~10-15 minutes from Santa Cruz and away from perpetual costal overcast. Beyond the location we were not pleased overall. We could hear outside noise at night easily but found we could drown it out by running the fan/cooler, which worked fine for us. Pool water looked green from afar but found to be clean just in need... More

We don't usually stay at budget hotels, but given the limited options in the area, this seemed like our best bet and, although we were expecting the worst, we were pleasantly surprised the first time we stayed...

We were in Ben Lomond visiting friends and, instead of staying with them as planned, we decided to get a room, so we were a walk-in. They did have vacancies, but charged us $260 for one night! What a rip-off. This property is basically a remodeled 2-story motel. Typically, in our experience, a walk-in develops a better rate, but the... More

We stayed for four days. On the second day a large number of construction workers arrived. They woke up at 5:30am and at 6:30 they wiped out the breakfast food supply. At 4pm daily they came back to the motel, drank lots of beer, gathered in groups outside their rooms, and were very loud and annoying. The manager did nothing... More
