Disappointed
We love this spot because of walking distance to the beach, affordable cost and cleanliness. Nothing fancy, but a good spot to rest one’s head after a beach day. Sadly, this time our room had an aunt infestation. Plus, they stuck us in an ADA room where the water from the shower gets everywhere. We will stay again but will be careful what room we let them give us.

Good Location
Great location walking distance to the beach. Staff was friendly when I arrived and check in was super easy. The bathroom had a towel with a hole in it left on the side of the tub. There was a wad of hair on it. An oversight from cleaning, but a bit gross. The bed was very uncomfortable.

A little sketchy in Santa Cruz
The check-in was a little crazy. There were stacks of paper on the counter. The parking lot is very small and crowded. Both nights I left and when I came back there was only one parking space in the lot. The ceiling had been patched and I was definitely not a professional job. There were large cracks and the tape was showing through. The bathtub had been caulked by someone who didn't know what they were doing. In fact, it looked like they just caulked over the old black caulking. And there were chunks on the tile walls. The drain in the shower was broken and I had to be careful not to cut my phone on it.
