I appreciated the reasonable price being within walking distance to the boardwalk and eateries. I liled the big wall window from room 121, very cool! The blanket had hole burnt into it, possible someone smoking which isnt allowed but I figure the laundry staff should throw that blanket away.

Honestly, I don't like it very much! The cleanliness is very poor. The mattress and sheets are old and look dirty at first glance. The price is not cheap. There is no hair dryer or ironing machine...

It was very nice. The room was very clean and the owners very polite. It was the cheapest room we could find, and we had read some negative reviews so we were a little cautious, but those reviews are wrong. This is a very nice, clean, comfortable place.

Two Blocks From the Boardwalk

No frills. Exactly as described. Checked in on Juneteenth, June 19th for a 4 day stay. Clean floor and bathroom. Clean bedsheets. Has a mini-fridge, bring ice cube trays. Also has small table with one chair. Basic TV works when it wants to. FYI- shower water takes awhile to warm, so, complete your day/ night routine. Limited carport parking (free) but very tight although they have open space for handicap and two spaces that are not in the carport. Also, no housekeeping but can request for fresh set of towels and essentials. And $50 deposit fee but that might vary, check staff upon check-in. Best of all, two short blocks from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.

The bathroom in general was quite dirty; there was snot on the wall, and the bathtub and all the cracks hadn't been cleaned in months. Overall, it seems like they only collect towels and don't clean the bathroom. Pretty disgusting. They're just trying not to waste money on the service.
