Great stay in Santa Cruz at the Capri Motel. It’s a simple no frills place but in a very convenient location at a fantastic price. On a busy intersection during the day which makes for such interesting people & action watching. At night late when sleeping it quieted down. The motel is really in a great location. Park your car, unpack and go have some fun. The San Lorenzo River runs right next to the street and there’s a trail you can take to the boardwalk or over to East Cliff side or the other direction that’s a really nice walk and you get some marvelous views of the beach boardwalk if you go all the way to Cliff Drive Vista Point. I will say though, a nice hot jacuzzi would have really felt marvelous after all the walking we did. Not one offered there but there are spas that we could have gone to that we could have taken care of our tired achey parts. We just weren’t there long enough and didn’t have the time. Ah shucks !!!

Bare bones. Linen had light stains and burn holes from cigarettes, pillows were flat, coffee machine broken, very little parking. Conveniently placed though. Walking distance from almost everything.

I liked that the property was walkable, downtown is only about 15 minute or less walking and the Board walk is about a 5 minute walk, stayed one night and the room was clean, had warm water, and a few necessities like a mini fridge and microwave

A quiet surprise. Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside was renovated and lovely. No closet. But fridge and microwave. Barn door was a cute add on. The clerk said “normally we charge a $300 deposit, but I’ll only charge you $50”. It was safe and clean and surprisingly two blocks from the boardwalk and pier.

The room was clean, but needs to be updated. The bathroom shower was updated and very nice. The bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. I didn’t care for the carpet in the room. I feel wood/laminate floors would be cleaner. We were in room 121 I believe. It was a corner room right by the street, so you do hear the cars passing by. But in the night time, it was quiet. Walls were thin so you can hear your neighbors. The front office staff/man was soo nice and upgraded our room from a 1 to 2 bed, which we didn’t need, but was nice. We loved the location. It was a short walk to the beach. We would stay there again.
