Honestly after reading some reviews on various platforms that gave 1/10 and described some awful conditions, I was a bit worried. I’m leaving this review in part to share that we did not have any problems. PROS: We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the room, which also had a private courtyard area off the sliding doors (room 118). The pool was clean, parking was easy and well lit, the room was clean, the showers had hot water, no sign of bugs in the room, the beds were comfortable and linens clean. The property is close to the Boardwalk - and convenient as a hub to explore the area (Capitola, Natural Bridges, Shark Fin Cove, surfing spots north and south, UC Santa Cruz, etc). CONS: The noise from directly above was a bit much, but that group seemed to settle down around the same time we went to bed. There were a couple of deferred maintenance items (ie missing slat on one of the blinds) but nothing really concerning. OVERALL: This is an older property, but it absolutely met our needs.

Homeless people all around property. Mattress’s were so old all you could feel were springs. Parking is tight and gets full fast, coffee machine has limited hours. Rooms are not sound proof, could hear inappropriate noises in adjoining rooms. Horrible parking, requested more towels and had to keep reminding them. Stayed multiple nights and had problems with room key and would have to continue to go to the front desk to resolve. Check in on Expedia says 3pm however hotel only allows check in after 4pm.

Decent

Not great, but not awful. First of all, the guy at the front desk does not make anyone feel very welcome. Zero personality. But whatever. The price of the place seems pretty good for the area and it's a good location. It's close to the boardwalk and a 15 minute walk to the hipper part of town. Some of the rooms, including ours, have a cool outdoor space. That was nice. The room itself was fine with a desk and a couple chairs. There were some strange things about it, like the fact that the toilet wasn't secured to the ground very well and there were multiple holes in the blankets. So, if that kind of stuff doesn't bother you, this place is OK.

Staff were courageous and professional. What I didn’t like that a window blind a panel was missing, we had to cover with a towel. Cleaning staff need to improve on cleanliness, there was a stain on the bathroom wall by the toilet and the computer chair was filthy.

Family Trip

The hotel is nice just a little outdated but the room where we stayed was big enough for our family & it has a direct access to the pool area. I just wish they will clean & decorate the small garden like area outside the rooms going to the pool area. That would be a great lounge area &/or a picnic area. Hotel was close to the Boardwalk probably around 7-10 minutes walk. Pool is gated which is good but since they allow pets, some guests brought their dog inside the pool area which in my opinion should not have been allowed. Our family stayed for 3 days & 2 nights & on the morning of our check out my hubby was locked inside the bathroom. For some reason the lock on the knob won’t work so we had to let the front desk know & they immediately called the manager who came in right away with a handyman even if it was very early in the morning. He was very concerned & got the issue resolved right away. Thanks Sam we will surely recommend your hotel & will be back for sure!
