This hotel is closing at the end of the month!

This hotel is closing at the end of the month! Marriott bought out the property and adjacent properties and is building a new hotel. Supplies (refrigerators) are being moved around to other hotels (eg Watsonville) or rooms within the complex. Alarm clocks are missing. The manager was quite nice and helpful. We just stayed for one night and would have made the same choice again.

Nicht zu empfehlen!

Klar geht es in solchen Motels nur ums übernachten, aber man sollte sich auch ein kleines bisschen wohl fühlen und nicht durchgeschwitzt schlafen gehen, weil man sich vor der Dusche ekelt.

Boardwalk weekend

The staff was very helpful but the hotel needs to be upgraded the toilet plugged so many times I was given a plunger to keep in my bathroom. The breakfast was ok but the lobby was very cramped and you had to wait for other guests before you could fit in to get yours. The best thing was the boardwalk is just 4 blocks away . The room AC good and the tv was nice ... We stayed 2 nights but our room did not get maid service? I would stay again if they Cleaned up a little and made some upgrades :)

Close to the boardwalk

Great location, clean room.

Came to town for Chowder Festival at the Boardwalk. Location was perfectly walkable. Room was small but clean. If all you want is a clean place to sleep close to the Boardwalk, then this place will work for you. No luxuries to speak of....even the "free toiletries" were half empty which, to me, translates to "used". But it was ok.

Fine

The hotel had all the basics, and was fairly convenient to downtown (and the boardwalk if one wanted). It was quiet which I appreciated and it felt fine.

Decent place

Everything was great except there was a lack of warm water..not good to take a cool shower in the morning. Other then that the location is perfect.

Best of the Worst

The room was clean enough and appeared to have been updated in the last 40 years, or so (recent, for that part of town). The location is what we wanted, in this case, and the people were nice (but noticeably aware that they are operating in a sketchy neighborhood). Expensive, but the best deal available in that part of town.

Screaming deal

We could hear the srceams from the Boardwalk thrill rides; Motel was just a short walk which was the purpose of our stay. Don't put money in the soda machine. Mr. Patel at the front desk can help you if you need bottled water. Wifi was weak, but we were on the top floor at the end, as far away from the wifi hub as we could be and still be a guest at the motel. Worth the cost but don't expect much it is an old motel. Our room was clean and satisfactory. Would probably stay there again.

Walking distance to the boardwalk

Your basic room. Nothing fancy but the room was clean and comfortable enough. In room fridge, coffee and hair dryer. Didn't spend any time at the pool but it looked okay, small with a small deck area. Loved the short walk to the Boardwalk and beach.

If you don't have high exceptions this is your place. My fire alarm was alerting that it needed a new battery. The owner gave me two options 1) Replace the battery myself or 2) disconnect the hard wiring myself - I guess that's service. Don't expect a reasonable continental breakfast either it was like froot loops and waffles and coffee was nasty with powder cream.

Nice and close to beach

The beds were on the hard side. The staff was awesome, I was running late for a cheer competition and the employee let me pay to just keep my car there for the day. Very nice people.

Bugs in the bathroom

I was not impressed with this hotel. The carpet was very old and dirty, the beds covers looked to be from the 80's and we had bugs in the bathroom sink and on the shower towels. I figured for the price it would be clean. Never again!!

6/10 Okay

If you would like a clean, inexpensive place in the Boardwalk area to spend a few nights then this is your place. Not fancy but close enough to the beach and restaurants that you can park your car and within minutes walk to whatever you want to do.

Stinks like crazy, beds are like cardboard

If you have ANY bit of a sensitive nose towards cleaning products, you will hate this place. I walked in and gasped at the smell. I recognized the smell as what they use to cover up mold. The windows don't open and the air conditioner/fan was minimal. I sat down on the bed wondering how I was going to stay overnight there and it crinkled like an old piece of cardboard. Now I wondered how my body would handle laying on a very old, unsupportive bed all night. I paid premium $$ for a summer hotel in Santa Cruz for a complete dump. Yes, there is a pool within inches of a very busy road and you can walk to the beach, but you may not be able to breathe in the room. I left unable to tolerate it. If that wasn't bad enough, it took me 90 minutes to get in towards the hotel. The traffic was horrible. No place to pull over and park, no way to exit out of the madness. In the future I will pick a place away from the beaches, and call and make sure they don't use these horribly toxic cleaners.
