Overpriced and noisy

Great location close to everything. Very noisy, road noise very thin walls, outside door with noseal. You can hear every person walk by like they're in your room Tub and shower probably orobably from the 1970s staind and corroding. Housekeeping didn't clean our after first night.some off the coffee pods were taken from McDonald's. And way overpriced. Also pet are is just a bunch ofdirt and weeds. But front desk employees were very nice.

Nice repeat stay

We got there late and the guy at front desk was so helpful and nice. The room was clean, beds were comfy, and even with dogs staying around us, it was very quiet! This is the second time we’ve stayed there, and we liked it last time too.

Extremely convenient! Dog rest area is very rough, some neighborhood decline, just kind of weird on the away-from-the-beach directions. BUT - the BEST spot for the IM race, and a wonderful staff.

Santa Cruz as a whole was a huge disappointment. So many homeless and drug addicts walking around. The motel itself was ok but did not feel safe in the area. There was damage to the room ceiling and one of the walls we reported to the front desk. Motel was in decent shape and if was for the area I would go again.

Love staying here

A couple of small problems we did not even address except to let the staff know as we were leaving. Only spent one night on this visit as it was a quick in and out of the area.
