“Good enough, especially if you're not spending much time in the room.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011 via mobile

Green carpets with patterned red dots nicely complimented with similar patterny bedspread greeted me upon arrival. it was a trip back in time...well lets just say an update to the room styling could help the place. It's a mile and a half to the boardwalk, shorter to downtown shops. Cars park free! Not a terrible place, just not a place to compliment a family vacation. The breakfast wasn't bad and there is free wifi. Someone said the pool was a good temperature, should be comfortable amongst the care exhaust in the adjacent parking area.

“Great Place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. It was a great place overall. The rooms, price, service and location. They had a breakfast room that wasn't huge but just right. I have no complaints and will recommend this hotel to any one.

“Great location and when we are in Santa Cruz that is where stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

The property has continued to improve since our first stay in 2006. The entire facility is well maintained the rooms are clean and comfortable with a fridge and microwave. The staff is very attentive and always pleasant. The rare time we had a room problem is was dealt with immediately. We will continue as loyal guests as that is the way we are treated.

“NOT non-smoking... smelly!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

It was UCSC Orientation weekend, and very little available. I figured it was a Ramada, so it would probably be OK. The good: Convenient location, very friendly and helpful front office staff, and relatively quiet room. The bad: Our non-smoking room REEKED of cigarettes. Dingy, worn with dirty carpet. We didn't see any evidence of bedbugs. That said, we've had lovely stays in the past at the Holiday Inn Express (which is a bit pricier) and the Ocean Pacific Lodge (about the same, pricewise, as this Ramada), so those would be my recommendations.
