    There was an extra $5 mystery charge. The owner took it off when I pointed it out. I hate having to point these things out

    A great option for spending the night in Santa Cruz
    Staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was very nice and room was clean.
    The room was small and spartan. It's a walk to downtown or the beach.

    Disappointing
    Meh .
    Location
    Check in was rude , more concerned with knowing about the family we were meeting for dinner who had a dog and someone who smoked outside . Never gave food recommendations and lost the parent of a freshman at UC Santa Cruz .

    Just okay. We will not stay here again.
    Nice bed, clean sheets. Quiet.
    Owner or whoever was at the desk was very rude and aggressive when we asked about the check in time since the online information said 2 pm and later a confirmation said 4 pm. He said the online services always lied and didn't care about the hotel/motels at all. Only the minimal of towels and NO coffee maker or coffee/tea/cups. Clean and nice, but everything was as minimal as possible. Because of office manager's attitude and no coffee maker, would not stay here again. Would pay more to go else.

    Great short stay, walking distance just a bit loud road noise due to main road.
    Ease of location, friendly management.
    Busy street, smaller rooms.
