8/10 Very good

We've stayed in Santa Cruz before and the parking at this hotel was best by far so easy no issues and easy walk to the boardwalk
Barbara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean place with a good location near the boardwalk. If you get the room with a kitchen brong your own pan and kitchen ware. Other than that pool was clean and check was easy
Gail, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Needed a room for the night. Stayed for the amenit

We stayed here because of the amenities. The putting green was great, cornhole was fun, the pool was cold, the hot tub was warm but no Jets were working. The beds were hard. We came to town for a doctor's appointment. It was good for just overnight and conveniently located close to our doctor's office. We would stay again for our next appointment.
Rosanne, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was great and the property is located in a good area, close to the beach. The bed however was super uncomfortable and
Rachel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location was in good walking distance from both downtown and the boardwalk. Clean room, very spacious. Only down side is that the parking is completely not adequate for the amount of rooms. Had to park 4 blocks away.

PATTY, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Okay stay

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. It was conviently located and met our needs. We did have a difficult time parking each night and ended up having to park on a residential street a couple bocks away.

Victor, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Reasonable pricing for the perks

Love the convenience and location along with the year round pool and hot tub.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The area itself isn't the nicest but the hotel rooms themselves aren't bad. the only real downside is it seems they have more hotel rooms than parking spaces, so there were times we would get back by 11pm and there would be no parking spaces available at the hotel, so we would have to find parking on the streets around the hotel.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We liked that it was walking distance and clean. The staff was amazing

Kevin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Surf City stay

Great location, cozy rooms with kitchen available. Only downside to our stay was the cable was not working well and with the kitchen they don’t supply dishes, utensils or dish soap etc. other than that we enjoyed the pool/hot tub and mini golf/cornhole on site! We’ll definitely book again!
Chundrea, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The only good thing about this hotel is that it is close to the boardwalk. Otherwise it is rundown and dirty. You check in with a screen and a person obviously no where near to the motel. I would not recommend staying there at all!!!
