Terrible experience- Unsafe and unprofessional.

I had a very unsettling experience at this motel. As soon as I arrived, I felt unsafe. There were people in the parking lot openly smoking crack, and on the balcony, others were barbecuing. The environment was chaotic, and I honestly didn't feel comfortable getting out of my car. I immediately requested a refund, and they refused to give me one. It's clear they don't care about the safety or well being of their guests. Stay clear.

It was fine for a cheap hotel. Don't count on the breakfast. If it's open at all (8-10am) there isn't really much offered other than bananas, coffee.

Love this place.

This is the second time we’ve stayed here because it’s family friendly and not far from anything. The staff is always friendly and the hotel though on a busy street is quiet.

Super easy access from PCH right to Ocean St and 500yards and you are there!! Great location to local Santa Cruz eateries and easy in and out from the property. We had our dog with us and the charge was a reasonable 30/night/per animal..
