A decent plaace to stay

The bed was very comfortable, and the room was spacious and there was a nice kitchen, but no dishes, cups etc. You have to bring your own stuff. I thought thre price wasn't too bad for a friday night. Plenty of parking and a decent location. Santa Cruz is an awesome place to visit. The downtown is great. Motel was noisy at night from children running and screaming (families) and I couldn't tell if there were people living upstairs or horses.

Will definitely stay here again. 10 minute walk to downtown and boardwalk. Outside was a bit sketchy but if you mind your business you should be fine. We didn’t get to use the pool since we ran out of time but everything was great

Nicely remodeled rooms… clean. If you grew up in the hood you’ll feel right at home here. A bit noisy with something continuously going on outside. Great for a cheap overnight stay.
