They charged my brother $10 to come visit me for an hour in my motel room and they charged my best friend as well...I would never recommend this for anyone. Super sketchy behavior form staff.

This hotel is the perfect place to stay if you want to hang out near drug dealers or prostitutes. Noisy, filthy, disgusting! If you are looking for a family friendly, romantic, safe, quiet, etc., go somewhere else!

Last minute decision to stay in Santa Cruz, so no hotel. Front desk clerk told me they could have a room ready in an hour. Rooms are not great, but are clean and have the basics for a one or two night stay. The motel is a 5 minute walk to downtown. I had a problem with wi-fi the first... More

Accidently booked on my smart phone without reading reviews. At least the cable tv drowns out the noise.I'm writing this review because I'm too freaked out to sleep. I can't believe I'm laying on the mattress. I'm appalled that expedia would let people book this motel.

My partner and I (lesbian couple) stayed here with her two younger sisters this past weekend. This was our first time to Santa Cruz for all of us. This motel put a damper on our trip to say the least. We checked in and we were given our ration of towels (only 2). Our room had two queen beds both... More

Wow I wish I had seen this review before I booked my room. I just want to start by saying I travel 6 to 7 months out of the year. I look for inexpensive rooms because we are staying for work. THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST HOTEL EVER! I have never complained before so Im dead serious on this... More

We reserved 2 rooms for 5 people. Both rooms have dirty window, broken window shields and broken floor tiles with stains. Obvious stains on walls and mold spots seen on the chairs. Black stains shown inside the toilet bowls with old toilet seats looked dirty even if they were clean. I found hair on the wall in one bathtub. We... More

Friendly check in and decent locations, BUT, this place is rough. Battered furnishings, sheets too small ending up in wad exposing gross bare mattress, stains on towels (before I got there), leak in roof allowing water to fill globe in light fixture which then dripped down on bed, window showed evidence of repeated break ins, and very creepy clientele. Creepy... More
