I called after reading these reviews and expressed my concern of reserving a room but wanted to check it out. The owner " jay" held my room with no deposit on Presidents' Day weekend so I could decide after inspecting the room. I showed up and jay had keys waiting for me, the room was clean. I agreed to stay... More

The good news is that this is much cheaper than the hotel across the street. Santa Cruz has a lot of cheap hotels and this isn't the best buy. Also, you're probably going to get a balcony and at least a sliver of a view of the ocean. Now comes the bad news. We felt less like guests than like... More

This place is absolutely the worst in Santa Cruz! Anyone giving this a good review must work for the place! Nasty dirty, holes in the counter top, food & dirty blankets in the pull out bed!

This place is awful! I just returned from a trip across California with my boyfriend where we stayed in several 2 star hotels (Days Inn, etc) so I think we have a reasonable basis for comparison - this place does not come close. We arrived early so, fair enough, our room wasn't ready. We returned to the hotel 3 times... More
