This place was definitely not up kept to standards. Either they don't clean the room at all or just don't care enough to clean the whole room. It has great potential and was a spacious room with a nice deck but as said, thumbs down for management. Checked for bed bugs and don't think there were any. Sheets at least... More

First of all the location was great just a 5 minute walk to the boardwalk not to bad, service desk great, the problem was they gave us our rooms but they weren't even cleaned yet when we went to use the restrooms there was no running water which they forgot to tell us when we checked in when we came...

We stayed there as we were desperate to find somewhere after a long drive.....I wish we had gone that little bit further. The room was noisy and not very clean. Difficult to get back to once we left to go out for the evening, ended driving around Santa Cruz trying to find it again. The hotel owner said it was... More

This is possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in...ever! The beds were horrible- we got NO sleep. It was loud, the lights didn't work in the room. (They were fixed, but seriously-the power cord was cut!) The balcony had 1 dirty plastic chair on it AND we were "showered" on by rowdy folks upstairs urinating off of their... More

First, there is only one driveway to the place which makes it really hard to get in because you get caught up in one-way streets when you're trying to get back. The room we had was nice. Nice furniture and the bed was extremely comfortable. It is a bit run down (the wall paint is chipping in places) but it's... More

Where do I start? I arrive to the hotel to check in. The lady gives me a disclaimer form that I have to sign before I can check in. I ask what it is before I read and she said she wasn't sure. Mind you she looked 14 years old and working on school work by herself. I asked if... More

The hotel is a few blocks from the boardwalk but it very centrally located. It is easy to walk to shops, restaurants and the boardwalk. It is on a busy street but if you get a room on the back building without a view of the boardwalk it is nice a quite. The rooms are big and have microwaves and... More

Been to this place a few times. It is the best 'bang for your buck.' Every time we have went we have stayed on the ocean side balcony rooms. Great view of the boardwalk, especially at night when all the lights are on. For it being located near a somewhat busy road it is very quiet in the rooms, easy... More

They charged us $147 for the dirtiest hotel room I have ever slept in. The floor hadn't been vacuumed. The bedspread was covered in stains and cigarette burns. Their 'continental breakfast' was a bunch of stale muffins thrown all together into a yellowing tupperware bin. The other occupants were carloads of college kids out partying, or other bewildered people like... More
