We had a great stay and would stay here again. Owners were super friendly and welcoming and we felt safe parking within the fenced parking lot. The Hotel is definitely older and not updated, but our room was spotlessly clean and maintained (and the beds were pretty comfortable too) and you can tell the owners put a lot of pride in a well-run, well-maintained hotel. We would absolutely stay here again if we find ourselves in Santa Cruz.

Location was great. Property was fine. This is one of the older motels in town, so it is a bit dated. However, the room was clean and it had every convenience we needed. The price was great. I would stay here again.
